Design
by
holding
two
meetings
in
one
day,
no
one
liked
the
design
polls
in
concrete.
Yet
the
cra
staff
proceeded
with
the
concept
design
added
the
shade
element
and
in
may
of
2020
submitted
design
to
the
cra
trustees
for
consideration
and
after
being
the
table
for
additional
changes,
was
approved
in
june
of
2020.
D
The
community
never
saw
the
new
design,
which
now
included
the
large
stage
structure.
Before
it
was
approved,
no
press
updates
were
released
with
the
new
design.
Three,
the
actual
space
does
not
exist
right
now,
when
the
streetscape
project
is
complete,
the
usages
can
be
better
evaluated.
No
one
knows
how
big
or
what
shape
it
actually
is.
D
Four,
the
east
great
cra,
generates
lots
of
funds
for
the
cra,
the
community
wishes
should
be
respected,
and
finally,
there
is
a
new
trustee,
a
new
city
manager,
new
cra
staff
and
new
people
to
work
with
in
the
eastgate
community
to
generate
new,
workable
ideas.
Working
together
together
will
unify
this
community.
A
concrete
pad
will
tear
it
apart.

The
quality
of
the
proposed
improvements
in
use
to
reduce
visual
blight
and
prepare
the

M

Young
people,
professionals
and
baby
boomers
alike
are
spending
an
increasing
portion
of
their
disposable
income
on
experiences
rather
than
things.
This
has
been
a
trend
over
the
last
decade,
but
has
accelerated
as
the
pandemic
has
begun
to
give
way
to
our
new
future.
It's
widely
expected
that
the
experienced
economy
will
continue
to
grow
post-covet
and
we
hope
to
help
the
city
of
clearwater
take
advantage
of
that
growth
and
become
a
leader
in
florida
for
art
technology
and
community
solidifying
its
place
as
one
of
the
top
destinations
in
the
country.
M
We
intend
to
bring
to
703
jones
street,
not
just
a
community
venue
but
a
destination
level.
Arts
technology
hub
anchored
by
experiential,
entertainment,
arts,
district's
management
team
has
decades
of
experience
in
live,
theater,
music
and
film
production
with
billions
in
combined
revenue,
and
our
lab
team
has
been
the
beneficiary
of
over
30
million
dollars
in
r
d
investment
in
the
last
decade.
M
Our
patent-pending
wonder
room
creates
a
limitless
digital
environment
where
the
walls
disappear
like
a
star
trek,
holodeck
and
audiences
can
walk
through
the
open
world
of
an
entirely
new
place,
rather
than
through
vr
glasses,
or
simply
viewing
a
two-dimensional
image
on
screen.
Much
like
being
physically
transported
into
a
story
itself.
M
M
With
the
cern
institute
in
switzerland
and
nasa
and
debuting
in
brooklyn
this
summer,
the
piece's
first
movement
poetic
ai
sold
over
one
million
tickets
in
paris
in
2018
and
that
that
show
spawned
the
global
appetite
for
large-scale
immersive.
M
Is
a
real-time
look
into
a
musician's
brain
through
artificial
intelligence?
Our
computers
generate
original
artwork
based
on
the
musician's
brain
activity
and
notice
how
the
art
changes
as
the
music
does,
but
the
computer
is
not
listening
to
the
music
only
to
the
brain
activity
of
the
musician.
This
installation
is
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
when
it
comes
to
the
potential
of
these
technologies
to
create
stories
and
experiences
for
live
audiences.
M
In
addition,
arts
district
in
clearwater
will
present
the
first
sports
immortals
immersive
exhibition.
The
sports
immortals
collection,
as
matt
said,
is
the
largest
and
most
diverse,
diverse
assortment
of
sports
mementos
in
the
world,
valued
at
over
300
million
dollars.
Joel
platt's,
founder
with
his
son
jim,
has
been
collecting
these
memorabilia
for
the
last
six
decades,
much
of
it
directly
from
the
athletes
and
their
families.
M
The
platinum
arts
district
will
curate
an
exhibit
designed
specifically
for
the
city
of
clearwater
and
its
history
in
sports.
The
exhibition
hall
will
feature
interactive,
holographic
stages
on
which
these
heroes
of
sport
will
come
to
life
and
interact
with
patrons.
In
addition,
we'll
create
environments
and
stories
inside
our
wonder
room
to
complement
the
installations.
M
Imagine
being
at
the
game
where
babe
ruth
called
his
shot
at
wrigley
field.
Imagine
yourself
in
a
front
row
seat
for
the
rumble
in
the
jungle.
Imagine
yourself
sitting
in
the
bleachers
at
clearwater
athletic
field
on
march
15
1923
for
the
first
spring
training
game
between
the
brooklyn
dodgers
and
the
boston
braves.
M
The
facility
sits
at
the
intersection
of
jones
street
and
north
myrtle
avenue
just
outside
the
downtown
core
and
significantly
with
rear
frontage.
Just
a
hundred
feet
from
the
intersection
of
the
pineal
trail
and
drew
street
which
the
cra
has
adopted.
Development
plan
identifies
as
the
most
appropriate
for
restaurant
brew,
pub
or
cultural
uses.
N
Well,
more
of
a
comment
than
a
question
I
got
to
tell
you:
I'm
really
excited
about
this
concept
coming
to
downtown,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
we've
been
looking
at
this
building
or
I've
been
looking
at
this
building
for
probably
over
15
years
as
something
that
had
real
potential
in
our
downtown.
So
thank
you
for
discovering
it
and
putting
this
in
that
place.
I
think
it
will
be
it'll,
be
a
real
boon
for
downtown.
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
O
P
F
P
So
I'm
still
on
my
kids
snapchat.
They
block
me
on
and
off,
but
some
of
the
things
that
they
do
is
you
know
film
their
activities
through
in
their
travels
and
that
experience
has
been
on
my
children's
snapchat
several
times
and
I'm
so
happy
that
I
can
now
feel
my
own
eventually
fantastic.
It's
they.
They
have
always
told
me
that
that
was
one
of
the
memorable
experiences.
G
M
A
it's
a
great
question
in
terms
of
the
immersive
entertainment
side
of
things
limitless
ai.
It
is
the
what
we're
doing
in
brooklyn
is
really
the
first
of
its
kind.
There
are
other
immersive
arts
destinations
in
the
world.
As
I
said,
there's
there's
one
in
paris.
That's
been
around
for
about
seven
years.
There
is
an
immersive
museum
in
miami
called
super
blue.
M
Most
of
those
other
experiences
which
are
fantastic
use,
technology
to
look
backward
at
art
that
already
exists,
but
the
ability
to
use
this
technology
to
create
new
art,
new
experiences
draw
people
out
of
their
homes
for
new
ideas
and
new
stories.
The
way
that
movie
theaters
have
the
way
that
that
that
live
theater
does.
That
truly
is
a
a
groundbreaking
in
that
way.
In
terms.
D
M
Sports
immortals
exhibit
there
is
nothing
in
the
world
like
this.
Marrying
sports
memorabilia
of
this
quality
and
this
caliber-
and
you
know
when,
when
jim
and
his
father
walked
me
through
their
collection.
My
jaw
was
on
the
floor.
I
mean
it's
just
amazing
and
to
be
able
to
bring
that
to
life
in
this
way.
There
is
nothing
like
that
in
the
world.
M
That
the
long-term
vision
for
this
is
that
we
create
this
format.
This
format
then
becomes
a
launching
pad
for
exhibitions
like
it
around
the
country
and
then
what
we're
able
to
do
with
the
vast
collection
that
they
have
is
to
rotate
content
over
the
course
of
months,
so
that
we're
constantly
refreshing
what's
there,
depending
on
the
season,
depending
on
the
location
and
things
that
work
we
we
replicate
and
things
that
are
less
attractive
to
people.
We
rotate.
D
M
M
M
Yeah,
you
know
this.
This
is
as
yet
to
be
determined
by
our.
You
know
the
experts
we
have
in
the
in
the
museum
field
as
well.
As
you
know,
our
people
on
the
live
experience
field,
but
the
idea
would
be
that
there
would
be
an
admission
price
for
the
sports.
Immortals
exhibit
there
would
be
an
admission
price
for
evening
activations
in
the
wonder
room
that
those
would
be
separately
ticketed.
You
can
bundle
them.
M
You
can
they're
all
sorts
of
things
and
our
our
marketing
partner
in
new
york
is
an
expert
in
sort
of
creating
packages
in
this
way
and
pushing
all
this
stuff
out
on
social
media.
So
much
of
the
I'm
sure
you've
seen
some
of
their
advertisements
already
without
knowing
that
you've
seen
them,
but
but
yes,
that
would
be
the
idea
that
each
of
these
things
could
be
separately
ticketed
if
they
needed
to
be
or.
M
It's
certainly
in
the
pipeline,
and
it's
certainly
part
of
the
vision
to
be
looking
towards
sustainability,
to
be
looking
toward
green
energy
to
be
looking
toward
ways
that
we
can
integrate
into
sustainability
infrastructure
in
the
city.
I
think
it
will
take
our
having
sort
of
confirmation
and
go
ahead,
that
we
then
begin
to
tap
into
what
resources
are
here
in
clearwater
and
to
find
out
what
the
long-term
possibilities
are
for
us.
G
G
A
It
looks
very
exciting
visually
stunning.
This
is
a
big
number.
I
mean
it
looks
to
be
about
30
of
your
budget.
How
is
your
capitalization?
Do
you
have
all
of
your
finances?
Yes,
we're
going
to
be
contributing
potentially.
M
We
we
certainly
are
are
incredibly
grateful
for
money
for
coming
from
the
city.
If
it
does
come,
we
have
tech
partners
that
will
provide
us
with
backing
for
the
technology
for
some
of
the
technology
pieces
that
go
into
the
project,
and
so
some
of
that
will
get
financed
through
them
and
we'll
and
or
we'll
get
back
through
them,
and
then
whatever
is
left
over
once
the
once.
We
get
confirmation
from
you
and
from
our
private
equity
to
seek
out
any
gap
funding
we
need.
We
have
resources
to
do
so.
Okay,.
F
E
E
Has
done
a
preliminary
review,
they
met
with
them
months
ago.
I've
also
met
with
two
members
of
the
planning
department
to
discuss
a
few
topics,
but
nothing
has
come
up.
That
would
stop
the
project.
Okay,
I
just
want.
A
To
make
sure
we're
not
going
to
run
into
a
wall,
you
know
due
to
the
planning
and
zoning.
We
don't
have
many
trains
that
go
by,
but
at
one
time
we
were
looking
at
putting
a
movie
theater
on
east
avenue,
which
was
almost
two
decades
ago,
but
the.
A
M
Vibrations
are
certainly
an
issue,
but
it's
not
an
issue
that
we're
unfamiliar
with
our
our
location
in
brooklyn,
for
instance,
is
on
a
major
thoroughfare
for
trucking,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
trucks
that
go
by
every
day.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
with
engineering
is
to
create
a
trusting
system
with
with
vibration,
absorbing
materials
so
that
we
can
mitigate
any.
M
The
the
part
with
the
the
vast
majority
of
the
installation
is
the
part.
Apart
from
that
train
the
the
main
one,
the
the
main
warehouse
where
wonder
room
goes,
has
a
good
100
feet,
150
feet
of
separation
from
the
train
tracks,
whereas
where
sports
immortals
is
more
aligned
with
the
train
tracks,
so
that
that
should
benefit
us
in
that
way.
But,
of
course
we'll
we'll
need
to
find
out
what
really
happens
when
a
train
goes
by
and
we'll
we'll
account
for
it.
Accordingly,
what.
M
We
do
have
capacity
numbers
on
the
diagram.
I
don't
remember
what
it
said.
450
a
little
more
450
is
the
flow
capacity
and.
L
L
Now
that
the
world
has
been
zumified
during
the
pandemic
and
online,
the
ability
to
have
these
events,
whether
they're,
you
know
the
entertainment
events,
the
sports
events,
whether
they're
city
talks,
ted,
like
talks,
things
that
we
can
stream
those
in
a
360
way
that
wasn't
possible
before
so.
The
ability
to
bring
the
world
to
the
rooftop
of
our
tech
hub
or
into
our
wonder
room
is
unique,
also
another,
so
that
will
affect
the
flow.
So,
how
do
you
monetize
that
there'll
be
different
ways?
You
can
do
it
through
subscription?
L
You
can
do
on
a
pay-per-view,
there's
a
whole
number
of
models
that
we
can
plug
into.
There's.
Also
the
opportunity
to
support
nonprofits.
We
do
a
lot
of
cause-related
shows
so
our
desire
and
the
whole
nuance
about
communities
those
to
actually
really
truly
plug
into
the
community
source,
local
talent,
where
it's
like
an
open
source,
local
artist,
the
possibility
to
project
local
artists
and
feature
them.
L
You
know
and
then
also
wellness
program,
so
the
ability
to
sound
light
in
these
spaces.
The
whole
new
conversation
which
you
probably
don't
have
time
for
today,
but
it's
a
powerful
format.
A
E
Regarding
parking
that
we
will
have
to
address
the
parking,
the
actual
use
doesn't
require
any
parking
spaces.
I
did
discuss
with
planning
on
their
proposed
parking
and
loading
area
that
it
can
be
used.
It
will
be
okay,
I'll
get
the
garden
street
garage
just
a
few
blocks
away,
but
that
is
something
we
will
have
to
discuss.
E
F
E
E
Stuff,
the
purpose
of
this
item
is
to
request
approval,
to
amend
the
cra's
operating
budget
to
add
a
new
full-time
position,
cra
special
event,
specialist,
the
cra's
main
goal
is
shifting
the
perception
held
by
the
public
investors
about
downtown
to
one
that
encourages
investment.
Supporting
a
wide
variety
of
events
and
programs
in
downtown
is
a
key.
E
In
anticipation
of
coachman
park
opening
in
summer
2023
and
the
continued
closure
of
cleveland
street,
the
cra
wishes
to
provide
a
greater
number
of
events
and
greater
assistance
to
event
producers
to
ensure
a
full
calendar
of
activities
throughout
the
year.
The
proposed
position
will
serve
as
a
liaison
to
parks
and
recreation
staff
event,
producers
and
merchants
to
help
coordinate
their
efforts
as
well
as
produce
new
cra
events.
E
The
current
interlocal
agreement
allocated
up
to
115
000
to
cover
the
cost
of
new
and
temporary
employees
for
this
fiscal
year,
exhibit
a

the
transfer
of
funds
from
salaries
and
benefits
to
city
general
fund
administrative,
which
will
cover
the
cost
of
the
proposed

This
time,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.

Good
morning,
monica
mitchell
assistant
finance
director.
This
agenda
item
is
for
the
presentation
of
the
cra's
annual
audit
for
the
fiscal
year
ending
september
30th
2021..
This
is
our
second
year
of
preparing
separately,
audited
standalone
financial
statements
for
the
cra
pursuant
to
a
new
requirement
in
chapter
163
of
the
florida
statutes
which
governs
community
redevelopment.
R
K
R
S
Thank
you.
I'm
sure
there
was
no
intended
sort
of
comment
about
this,
wouldn't
be
the
most
exciting
part
of
today's
no.
S
So,
as
monica
said,
we're
presenting
this
is
the
audit
of
the
cra's
financial
statements
as
of
september
30.
2021.
and
again,
I
want
to
point
out
that
this
is
the
second
year
that
you
guys
have
had
to
issue
standalone
financial
statements.
So
the.
S
F
S
Letters
and
the
front
of
the
financial
statements
is
our
main
auditor's
opinion
where
we
open
on
the
fair
presentation
of
those
financial
statements
included
in
that
report.
Is
we
issue
an
unmodified
opinion,
which
is
the
highest
level
of
assurance
that
auditors
provide
once
you
then
move
to
the
back
of
the
financial
statements?
There's
a
couple
other
letters
that
are
required
either
by
government
auditing
standards
or
by
the
florida
auditor
general,
the
auditor
general
in
our
state's
pretty
active.
So
we
get
some
extra
reports
that
most
other
states
don't
have
so.
T
S
Auditing
seniors
report
clearly
required
by
government
audit
standards.
Within
this
report
we
would
state
whether
we
have
identified
any
material
weaknesses
or
significant
deficiencies
in
internal
controls
around
financial
reporting
or
if
we
had
identified
other
matters
of
non-compliance
in
relation
to
financial
reporting,
and
we
had
no
such
issues
to
present
in
that
report.
S
Then,
as
you
move
back,
we
go
to
the
management
letter.
This
is
an
auditor
general
report,
there's
a
myriad
of
things
that
the
auditor
general
wants
us
to
respond
to.
So
this
is
a
prescribed
letter.
They
give
us
the
exact
wording.
If
there
were
any
items
of
note,
we
would
state
those
in
various
paragraphs.
J
S
Are
really
compliance
reports
again
required
by
the
auditor
general?
The
first
one
is
in
regards
to
investment
policies,
so
florida
statutes,
218,
is
about
investment
policies,
states
that
either
the
city
has
to
have
their
own
investment
policy
or
they
have
to
follow
just
the
state's
basic
investment
policy.
The
city.
S
Participates
with
the
city
and
their
investment
program,
so
we
test
that
the
city
is
in
compliance
with
their
own
policy
and
they've
met
all
the
requirements
and
the
city
does
so.
We
have
no
items
to
report
in
the
investment
policy
report.
The
last
one
is
on
compliance
around
redevelopment,
trust
funds,
so
there's
specific
compliance
specifically
to
cras.
S
S
Now
everyone
is
is
aware-
and
I
think
monica
was
most
excited
for
when
we
asked
for
the
documentation
when
the
budget
was
sent
in.
I
think
she
had
that
one
like
queued.
D
I
A
Mr
jennings,
mr
cra,
director,
do
you
want
to
give
us
your
viewpoint
on
the
mercado
and
I
am
concerned
that
we're
dumbing
down
the
plan.
H
H
I
U
H
Is
pausing
right
now
to
see
if
we
can
find,
hopefully
in
the
near
future,
a
less
costly
solution
or
continue
with
the
solution?
That's
been
proposed
once
pricing
comes
down.
H
And
we're
making
a
lot
of
those
type
of
decisions
today,
with
the
hope
that
there
is
a
realignment
on
the
current
issues
that
we're
saving
the
economy
overall.
A
H
A
A
F
I
H
H
Yes,
there
was
a
grant
program
that
we
could
access.
A
I'd
like
the
staff
to
come
back
with
several
different
solutions
and
I'd
like
you
to
hold
off
on
moving
forward
with
anything
else.
A
N
I
agree
this,
you
know,
we've
been
talking
about
this
a
long
time
and
the
design
is
what
I
can
recollect
has
changed,
even
the
last
iteration
of
it
with
the
cloth
root.
N
N
G
Thanks,
what's
the
time
schedule
for
pouring
concrete,
I
mean
it's
not
scheduled
to
be
poured
next
month.
Is
it.
E
I
don't
know
that
I
would
have
to
speak
with
the
product
manager
capital
and
get
that
back
to
you.
P
G
At
a
lot
of
those
well,
some
of
those
mercado
meetings
a
couple
years
ago
is
that
you
know
citizens
were
engaged
in
looking
at
this
and
and
we've
got
this
colorful
shade
structure
and
when
things
get
tight
you
know
I
get
that
prices
go
up,
but
prices
go
up
throughout
the
entire
city
and
we
make
things
happen
and
imagine
clear
water
in
other
places,
and
I
think
we
need.
We
owe
it
to
this
neighborhood
and
this
community
that
we
can
we
can
put
in
200
000.
I
mean
it's
not
a
lot
of
money
to
make.
G
You
know
the
straight.
The
shape
structure
happen
there
to
me.
That's
not
knowing
all
of
the
financials-
and
you
know
mr
ravens
or
others
can
lay
that
out,
but
when
I
was
asking
for
250
000
more
for
case
management,
safe
harbor
things
like
that,
I
did
my
calculations.
It
was
like
you
know,
0.1
of
the
general
fund
budget
I
mean,
and
so
it's
it's
in
the
whole
scheme
of
things.
G
But
I
you
know,
I
think
we
should
try
to
find
a
way
and
when
we
talk
about
budget,
you
know
expenses
that
have
gone
up
in
light
of
coveted
supply
chain.
If
we're
talking
about
wave
attenuators
later
in
the
regular
work
session,
I
mean
that's,
you
know
if
we
have
continued
damage
and
public
safety.
Obviously
that's
different
than
this.
But
this
is
a
small
to
me.
I
I
think
I.
G
D
G
G
P
Members
this
this
community.
I
P
Waited
so
long
for
this
project
so
long
and
it's
been
postponed
a
few
times
and
I've
seen
the
resurgence
of
this
community
excitement
in
the
new
east
gateway
hoa
and
I've
seen
how
invested
these
people
are,
and
I
think
they
deserve
for
us
to
do
a
good
job.
So
I
I
don't
I'm
a
mindset
that
we
should
just
kind
of
step
back
and
re-evaluate,
because
I
really
I
really
want
to
make
these
people
happy
because
they
have.
O
Right
now,
let's
look
at
the
plants
again.
F
A
G
So
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
about
you
know
what's
going
on
in
our
cra,
so
what's
going
on
with
the
building
on
the
corner
of
myrtle
and
court,
do
you
have
any
updates
on
that.
E
Asano
project
still
under
a
building
permit,
I
believe,
there's
a
few
issues
for
them
to
around
with
that
building
and
then
move
forward.
But
we
don't
have
an
investment
in
that
now,
but
moving
forward
with
their
own
funds.
What's.
G
E
C
U
G
Okay,
any
update
on
the
storefront
projects
like
the
dueling
pianos
and,
what's
going
on
with
some
of
those
businesses
that
we're
supposed
to
be
coming
in
they're.
E
They
ran
into
an
issue
with
accessibility
where
they
were
building
out
part
of
the
second
floor
area
that
would
be
accessible
to
guests
and,
as
part
of
that
they're
working
through
exactly
how
they're
going
to
get
any
ada
customers
up
to
that
space,
whether
it
be
an
elevator,
whether
it
be
a
lift.
So
I
believe
that's
one
of
the
final
things
that
they're
dealing
with
in
their
buildings.
G
When
you
mention
ada
compliant
getting
customers
up
to
that
space,
there
was.
I
had
noticed
in
the
development
down
by
the
nolan
that
we
took
that
tour
about
that
step.
Down
did.
C
E
Still
a
step
that
there
is
a
grant,
if
you
recall,
if
you
were
going
up
that
step
to
other
space
right
there,
where
there's
going
to
be
the
topgolf
as
well
as
the
other
food
vendors,
there
is
a
a
way
to
get
from
that
area
back
through
the
hallway
down
a
ramp
into
the
other
portion,
where
they're
going
to
have
to
figure
in
one
that
area,
so
there
will
absolutely
still
be
ada
compliant.
This
is
not
a
ramp
and
those
steps.
E
G
Within
the
streets,
okay,
any
updates
on
what
the
cra
officers
are
seeing
downtown
any
changes.
A
G
So
soon,
in
a
couple
weeks,
all
right,
so
I
see
the
market
marine
is
growing
and
doing
really
well,
so
they
have
their
one
year
anniversary
this
past
saturday.
G
E
Would
be
remiss
if
I
even
said
exactly
how
that
how
long
their
timeline
is,
I
can
ask
eric
santiago
the
project
manager
and
get
that
back
to
you.
E
E
Not
in
the
actual
cra
area,
due
to
my
involvement
with
the
north
greenwood
recreation
center,
my
ears
there
I
was
included
in
some
discussions,
maybe
something
in
the
proposed
north
greenwood
cra
area.
As
you
know,
that's
not
currently
active,
but
no,
nothing
in
the
actual
cra.
G
And
then
this
kind
of
ties
into
you
know
part
our
discussion
for
the
work
session
is
going
to
be
about
management
for
the
amphitheater,
but
so
it
was
my
understanding
we
can
get
this
clarified
in
the
work
session
that
when
we
have
events
at
the
amphitheater
there
will
be
opportunities
for
food
trucks
to
be
around.
A
A
I
F
G
G
I
don't
know
where
you
can
do
a
grab-and-go
deli
sandwich
in
and
out,
and
I
think
that
you
know
a
lot
of
people
don't
have
an
hour
for
lunch
to
go
and
sit
down
at
a
restaurant
and
so
a
lineup.
You
know
delhi
style
grants.
G
Okay,
all
right-
and
I
think
that's
everything
I
copied
miss
flaherty's
email,
so
I
think
she's
got
her
questions
answered.
G
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
We'll
adjourn
for
a
moment
the
web
session
called
order,
the
pension
trustees.
A
P
I
F
A
W
F
B
X
Good
morning,
trustees,
first
of
all,
nice
to
be
here
in
person
again,
it's
the
first
time
I've
been
here
since
2019,
so
it's
it's
great
to
present
the
2022
at
night,
and
in
this
report
we
have
good
news.
The
the
last
couple
of
months
has
has
been
a
little
rough,
but
as
of
january
1
2022,
the
plan
is
in
one
of
the
best
states
of
condition
in
the
entire
state.
X
So
if
you
could,
if
everyone
has
one
of
these
valuation
reports
in
front
of
them,
I'm
going
to
go
through
just
a
few
pages
of
the
report
before
I
ask
for
approval
first,
starting
on
page
one,
the
discussion
evaluation
results.
X
As
you
can
see
on
this
page,
the
required
contribution
is
up
slightly
from
last
year,
from
11.4
million
to
11.
almost
11.7
million
as
a
requirement
right
below
the
required
contribution.
We
show
the
credit
balance.
The
the
city
has
contributed
excess
money
over
and
above
the
minimum
required
contribution
in
past
years,
and
that's
helped
to
build
up
a
credit
balance
or
a
reserve
that
can
be
used
to
offset
contributions
in
a
year
in
which
the
contribution
is
spiked
up.
X
You
know,
unexpectedly,
that
credit
balance
is
now
33.8
million
dollars,
so
a
nice
healthy
cushion
it
would
absorb
at
the
current
rate
of
required
contribution,
almost
three
years
of
required
contributions
if
it
were
to
be
used
at
the
bottom
of
page
one.
We
have
a
breakdown
a
couple
years
ago
we
started
breaking
down
the
contribution
and
splitting
everything
out
between
non-hazardous
police
officers
and
firefighters.
X
On
page
two,
there
was
one
assumption
change
made
in
this
report
in
this
report
that
a
few
years
ago,
the
trustees
approved
slowly
reducing
the
investment
return
assumption
down
to
6.5,
and
this
was
the
last
step
this
year
going
from
6.55
to
6.50.
X
This
is
the
afford-looking
expectation
and
it's
also
the
rate
we
used
to
discount
all
the
liabilities
in
the
plan
that
change
alone
increased
the
contribution
by
about
two
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand
dollars,
and
we
also
show
we've
been
showing
this
in
the
last
few
years.
What
the
contribution
would
be
if
we're
using
a
previous
mortality
table
prior
to
2016.
X
X
I
X
X
X
X
If
you
look
at
the
top
of
page
three,
the
there
is
no
payment
to
amortize
the
unfolded,
liability
and
under
florida
statutes.
The
plan
is
required
to
fund
at
least
the
normal
cost.
So
the
gain
took
you
from
being
over
100,
funded
to
still
over
100
funded.
It
increased
the
funded
ratio
by
6.2
percent,
but
it
did
not
reduce
the
contribution
requirement
because
you
were
already
fully
funded,
so
you're
still
paying
the
normal
cost,
which
is
required
by
florida
stations.
X
X
The
market
value
also
exceeded
the
actuarial
value,
meaning
we're
smoothing
in
gains
that
have
happened
in
recent
years,
so
the
market
value
of
assets
is
151
million
dollars
higher
than
the
smooth
actuarial
value
of
assets.
So
that's
that's
a
very
large
cushion
you
know.
Almost
12
of
the
the
total
assets
in
the
fund
that
you
know
are
are
there
to
absorb
a
downturn
in
the
market
value
if
it
happens.
So
let's
turn
to
that
actuarial
value
of
acid,
exhibit
it's
on
page
d
or
c3.
X
Online
e1
of
this
page,
you
can
see
the
total
market
value
return
for
the
year
was
159.2
million
the
assumed
return.
If
the
plan
had
earned
the
6.5
assumption
was
80.7
million,
so
there's
an
excess
return.
Last
year,
78
and
a
half
million
dollars
that
is
moved
over
a
five-year
period
at
20
per
year.
So
you
look
in
line
f1
we're
recognizing
15.7
million
of
it
this
year
and
down
the
diagonal
through
2025,
we'll
be
recognizing
15.7
million
a
year.
X
We
also
have
gains
in
three
of
the
past
four
years
in
2000,
19
and
17..
So
the
total
amount
of
the
the
gains
being
smoothed
in
this
year
is
57
million.
If
you
add
all
five
numbers
up,
that
gets
you
to
an
actuarial
value
of
assets
of
just
over
1.2
billion,
which
is
actually
less
by
100
over
150
million
than
your
market
value,
which
is
1.375
billion
again.
X
As
of
january
1,
2022.
page
c5
shows
the
history
of
investment
results.
X
I
think
it
was
in
position
being
over
115
funded.
If
you
look
at
that
on
a
market
value
basis,
it's
over
125
percent
funded
it's
in
great
shape
to
to
be
able
to
absorb
a
downturn
in
the
market.
I
believe,
as
we
say
here
today,
on
a
market
value
basis,
it's
probably
still
at
least
100
percent
funded
because
of
the
excellent
stewardship
over
the
last
several
years.
The
plan
has
a
seven
percent
minimum
or
the
city
ordinance
is
a
seven
percent
minimum
contribution.
X
A
A
You
know
we
have
a
large
plan,
these
aren't
questions
and
this
is
kind
of
like
business.
So
I
am
very
pleased,
obviously,
that
we're
actually
funded
where
we
are,
but
our.
A
A
The
plan
will
not
hold
up.
There
will
be
many
plans
that
are
in
much
worse
shape,
obviously
than
ours,
but
ever.
C
A
A
X
I
I
had
not
seen
the
one
and
a
half
percent
per
year
forecast
for
the
next
10
years,
but
but
the
we
collect
forward
looking
capital
market
forecasts
over
the
next
20
years,
15
20
years,
midterm
and
long
term
from
12
different
investment,
consulting
firms
and
those
forward-looking
estimates
have
come
way
down
from
five
10
years
ago,
sitting
around
for
a
portfolio
like
this
one,
this
asset
allocation
sitting
around
six
percent,
so
yeah.
I
I
would
definitely
recommend
continuing
to
lower
the
six
and
a
half
percent
return
assumption.
F
X
Capital
market
forecasts
are
showing
for
the
next
like
15
to
20
year
horizon,
we
use
mid
to
long
term
capital
market
forecasts
and
you
know,
and
we
average
12
different
investment,
consulting
firms
forecasted
together
and.
X
To
the
asset
allocation,
you
know
for
each
client
and
we've
done
that
for
this
plan,
and
it
comes
out
around
six
percent
for
for
a
for
kind
of
a
mid
to
long
term
forecast
for
this
asset
allocation.
Now
now.
I
F
P
Marshall,
to
approve
the
january
1st
2022
annual
actual
evaluation.
Second.
B
Good
morning
again,
trustees,
jay
ravens
finance
director,
on
behalf
of
the
pension
investment
committee,
I'd
like
to
briefly
review
calendar
2021
investment
performance
for
the
plan
and
the
plans
21
money
managers.
We
also
have
the
plans
investment
consultant
mike
vallone,
with
cap
trust
available
for
any
questions.
B
I
B
The
domestic
equity
segment
of
our
stock
portfolio
had
an
excellent
absolute
return
of
21.97,
but
on
a
relative
basis,
only
placed
in
the
66th
percentile,
while
underperforming
the
index
by
6.74,
we'll
review
the
performance
or
the
underperformance
of
each
individual
money
manager
later
in
the
presentation.
But
overall,
this
return
of
21.97
was
very
strong.
B
B
The
poor
relative
performance
of
the
66th
percentile
and
a
huge
18.64
below
the
index
is
due
to
our
plan's
relatively
low
exposure
to
reits
versus
the
heavy
weighting
of
the
index.
Reits
had
an
extraordinary
year
with
an
index
return
of
46
percent,
though
they
were
negative.
7.9
percent
last
year,
very
volatile.
S
B
B
B
B
The
next
slide
is
our
international
equities.
We
have
two
basic
international
managers:
tsnw
and
wcm
and
dfa
is
an
emerging
markets.
International
manager,
international
perform
performed
well
overall,
with
both
tsnw
and
wcm
significantly
outperforming
their
peer
group
and
indexes
our
emerging
markets
manager
in
yellow
placed
in
the
74th
percentile.
B
However,
this
is
misleading,
because
the
wilshire
public
sector
database
is
for
all
international,
not
just
emerging
markets.
A
better
comparison
is
how
dfa
performed
versus
their
index,
which
they
outperformed
by
over
800
basis,
points
or
eight
percent,
actually
a
very
strong
performance
per
year
for
them
also
on
a
relative
basis.
B
As
I
stated
earlier,
it
was
not
a
good
year
for
fixed
income.
However,
on
a
positive
note,
both
of
these
managers
have
placed
in
the
top
50th
percentile
and
outperformed
their
indexes
for
the
past
three
years,
five
year
and
ten
year,
cumulative
periods,
and
we
expect
their
strong
performance
to
continue.
B
B
N
B
We're
talking
relative
performance
versus
absolute,
I
mean
the
market
is
not
doing
well,
but
what
I'm
talking
about
is
how
our
managers
perform
versus
the
their
peers
on
a
relative
basis.
Okay,
so
even
though
we
may
have
a
negative
return
for
the
year,
we
look
at.
Did
our
managers
still
outperform
the
other
managers
does.
N
Y
What
are
we
paying
you
our
fee
is,
I
believe,
it's
120
000,
roughly
okay,.
Y
Well,
we're
a
little
bit
more
bullish
than
vanguard,
but
we've
seen
yeah,
but
we
certainly
expect
at
least
looking
over
the
next
half
decade,
we'll
probably
be
looking
at
around
five
to
six
percent,
and
that's
just
because
of
the
strong
returns
we've
had
over
the
previous
10
years.
There's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
to
give
back,
but
we
think
once
we
kind
of
get
past
this
difficult
environment
that
we're
going
through
right
now,
we've
already
had
a
fairly
decent
size
correction
in
the
market.
So
far
this
year.
Y
Some
of
that
will
start
to
get
baked
in
the
cake,
and
then
we
can
start
to
see
higher
returns
more
that's
seven
percent
long
term
kind
of
once
we
get
to
the
back
half
of
this
year.
That's
for
equities.
A
Y
The
managers
that
are
used
in
this
portfolio
are
very
high
quality
managers
and
that's
some
of
the
reason
for
the
underperformance
that
you
saw
up
there
over
the
past
two
years,
especially
coming
out
of
the
pandemic.
A
lot
of
speculative
low
quality
stocks
have
done
extremely
well
they're
owned
by
the
index,
not
necessarily
owned
by
our
managers,
and,
when
I
say
low
quality,
I'm
talking
about
companies
that
don't
have
earnings,
don't
have
cash
flows.
Don't
have
strong
balance
sheets,
they've
done
really
well.
Y
Y
They
tend
to
do
well
now
when
it
comes
to
indexing,
we're
primarily
active,
but
there
are
some
parts
of
the
portfolio
that
we
like
to
index
large
cap
being
one
of
them
large
cap
growth,
we're
very
comfortable
indexing,
as
the
index
has
generally
performed
in
the
30th
percentile
or
better
over
the
long
term.
It's
just
a
very
difficult
asset
class
for
for
active
managers
to
beat
after
they
they
pay
their
fees.
So
we.
Y
Yes,
so
we're
primarily
private
real
estate
versus
the
reit,
which
is
the
index,
so
the
reits
are
publicly
traded,
very
volatile.
When
we
went
into
the
pandemic,
they
were
down
about
40,
so
they
got
hit
really
hard.
The
investments
in
this
portfolio
did
not.
The
returns
tend
to
be
more
smooth,
so
they
might
have
been
down
mid
single
digits,
but
as
reits
rebounded
very
strongly
over
the
past
year,
they
were
up
40,
getting
getting
back
a
lot
of
what
they
lost.
Y
Yeah,
so
you
know,
alts
have
up
until
this
year,
you've
been
much
better
off
just
owning
stocks
and
bonds
over
the
past
10
years.
It's
a
bit
cheaper.
Y
Y
Part
of
the
portfolio
can
start
to
perform.
Well,
not
just
adults
but
I'll,
throw
in
fixed
income
too.
We
haven't
gotten
much
of
a
fixed
income
over
the
past
five
years
or
so,
as
yields
start
to
creep
back
up.
Hopefully
that
part
of
the
portfolio
will
help
to
you
know
help
with
overall
returns.
Do
you.
Y
C
F
A
T
B
B
I'm
saying
you,
the
trustees
need
to
go
on
the
record
with
what
your
determination
is
of
what
you
think
the
market
is
going
to
return
for
the
current
year.
Currently
we're
down,
probably
13
to
14
year-to-date
in
the
portfolio
overall
is
going
to
have
to
rebound
significantly
to
hit
that
six
and
a
half
percent
assumption
by
the
end
of
this
current
calendar
year.
Can
it
happen?
Absolutely
and
again,
I
don't
have
a
crystal
ball
and
I
know
the
trustees
don't
have
a
crystal
ball.
A
A
And
we'll
be.
A
F
AA
F
I
I
A
B
It's
been
an
annual
requirement
for
a
number
of
years.
Now
it
really
came.
B
Year,
yes,
yes,
we've
done
it
every
year.
It's
it
came
about
back
when
a
lot
of
plans
had
high.
B
B
As
you
heard
today,
our
actuary
feels
we
should
continue
to
lower
to
six
percent,
so
the
legislature
passed
this
just
to
make
trustees
a
little
more
accountable
for
the
fact
that
you
have
to
go
on
the
record
each
year
with
what
those
estimates
are
and
whether
they're
consistent
with
the
actual
reality.
X
Usually
again,
pete
strong
and
grs,
usually
the
state
likes
to
see
a
match
between
what
you're,
assuming
in
your
actual
evaluation
for
and
what
you
certify
as
your
expected,
forward-looking
expectation.
But
I
I
think
that
the
long-term
thereafter
number
is
the
main
number.
The
midterm
and
long-term
interactive
thereafter
is
what
really
needs
to
tie
to
your
to
your
evaluation
report
in
an
extreme
year
you
could
say
we
expect
to
not
have
a
good
return
this
year,
but
for
the
long
term
we
expect
to
hit
our
actuarial
return
number.
X
X
There's
three
components
to
this
letter:
the
the
next
year,
the
the
midterm
and
the
long
term
they're
after
there's
three
different
numbers
there
that
go
into
the
center.
So
if
you're
expecting
a
zero
percent
return
this
year,
I
think
you
could
say
that,
but
then
from
the
midterm
and
long
term,
I
think
those
need
to
match.
What's
in
your
evaluation,.
F
G
Move
to
approve
agenda
item
4.5.
Second,
oh.
R
Good
morning,
monica
mitchell
assistant
finance
director.
This
agenda
item
is
for
the
presentation
of
the
city's
new
audit
for
the
fiscal
year
ending
september
30th
2021..
First,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
members
of
the
audit
team.
We
have
a
small
army
of
comptrollers
accountants
and
other
support
staff
that
contribute
to
this
process
in
the
finance
department,
as
well
as
other
departments
throughout
the
city,
but
regardless
of
who
they
report
to
whenever
there's
an
audit
request,
they
make
it
a
priority
and
that's
what
keeps
this
process
moving
toward
a
timely
completion.
R
S
Thanks
again
for
having
me,
I
think
it's
clear
there
was
a
ground
swell
based
on
my
first
presentation.
Let's
fill
up
the
room
and
there's
going
to
be
another
auto
presentation
a
little
bit
later.
So
I
want
to
reiterate
what
monica
said
about
the
effort
that
goes
into
this
process.
I
will
keep
my
presentation
very
short,
but
there's
a
significant
amount
of
work,
primarily
by
your
staff
and
amongst
our
team
to
complete
the
audit
process.
S
This
is
the
september
30
2021
annual,
comprehensive
financial
report
for
the
city
of
clearwater
go
a
lot
of
the
same
reports.
I
S
You'll
see
here
as
in
the
cra
financial
statements,
but
here
we
also
had
an
unmodified
opinion
on
the
fair
presentation
of
the
city's
financial
statements.
You
know
one
thing
the
city
of
clearwater
does
a
little
bit
differently
than
most
governments.
Is
you
do
ask
your
auditors
to
opine
on
every
fund
within
the
city's
financial
statements
you
go
above
and
beyond
what
government
auditing
standards
would
require.
So
we
do
opine
on
all
funds,
not
just
those
that
are
determined
to
be
major
funds
by
accounting
standards.
S
Standards
report
also,
we
have
no
material
weaknesses
or
significant
deficiencies
within
internal
controls
in
relation
to
financial
reporting
at
the
city-wide
level.
One
report
here
that
you
don't
get
in
the
cras
is
called
the
single
audit
report
in
non-federal
entities.
If
you
expend
more
than
and
fifty
dollars
of
federal
funds
or
state
funds,
state
of
florida
has
their
own
single
lot
of
rule.
Very
few.
Other
states
have
seen
a
lot
of
rules,
but
state
of
florida
does
so.
S
S
What
the
major
programs
and
projects
were
for
the
federal
single
audit
and
the
state
of
single
audit
this
process
is
very
time
consuming
the
single
audit
portion
compliance
gets
very
detailed
in
accordance
with
federal
and
state
rules
and
then
specifics
in
each
individual
contract.
So
we
go
real
real
deep
on
single
audit
testing.
S
S
We
would
communicate
here
any
kind
of
outliers,
but
one
thing
to
communicate
and
it
kind
of
came
out
of
the
single
audit
process
is:
there
was
immaterial
non-compliance
in
relation
to
formal
approval
of
reporting.
So
what
that
means
is,
as
a
part
of
the
single
audit
process,
there's
a
lot
of
reporting,
that's
required,
so
quarterly.
E
I
S
S
The
pandemic
related
funding
brought
a
bunch
of
new
reports
so
that
this
is
not
an
uncommon
sort
of
finding
amongst
governments.
As
more
reporting
is
filed
electronically,
it
gets
a
little
tricky
of
how
do
you
document
that
it
was
approved
by
somebody
else
and
someone's
logging
into
a
computer
and
filing
them
so
again
in
material
non-compliance,
local.
S
S
Based
on
our
audit
of
procedures,
which
is
always
good-
and
there
was
one
new
accounting
standard,
so
accounting
standard,
gasby
84,
which
is
in
relation
to
fiduciary
activities,
the
impact
for
this
city
is
we
there
used.
D
F
S
S
S
S
S
I
S
But
there
are
other
accounting
estimates
included
with
the
most
the
most
significant
of
those
accounting
estimates
being
an
allowance
for
doubtful
accounts
in
relation
to
receivables,
risk
management
of
accruals
again,
the
pension
plan
also
the
other
post-employment
benefit
plan
and
useful
lives
of
capital
capital
assets.
There
were
no
significant
difficulties
encountered
during
the
audit.
We
didn't
have
any
disagreements
with
management.
S
There
were
no
issues
discussed
prior
to
our
attention,
something
we
have
to
say
what
that
basically
means
is.
Do
we
think
jay
and
monica
were
asking
someone
else's
permission
when
dad
said
no
does
mom
say
it's
fine,
we're
not
aware
of
any
consultations
with
other
accountants,
and
there
were
no
other
internal
control
deficiencies
that
were
identified
during
our
audits
unless.
A
A
A
R
Good
morning,
monica
mitchell
assistant
finance
director
resolution
2211
establishes
an
underwriting
team
to
provide
investment
banking
services
to
manage
future
negotiated
bond
sales.
We
chose
five
firms
from
12
responses
received.
In
the
event,
the
city
has
a
negotiated
bond
sale
in
the
next
five
years.
Any
or
all
of
these
firms
may
be
called
upon
to
manage
the
sale.
Typically,
one
firm
would
serve
as
a
lead,
underwriter
or
a
senior
manager,
and
any
other
firms
chosen
to
assist
would
be
designated
as
co-managers.
R
G
Okay,
that
helps
a
little
bit
and
then
how
do
these
firms
get
paid
managers
you
know?
Is
it.
R
Well,
when
we
go
to
have
a
negotiated
bond
sale,
we
would
choose
one,
maybe
two
or
three
to
manage
to
sell
for
us
and
we
tell
them
what
return
we
want
to
see
and
it's
their
job
to
go
market
it
for
that
and
most
of
the
time,
if
they
can't
sell
a
bond
for
the
return
we
want
to
receive
they'll
purchase
it
themselves
and
keep
it
in
inventory
for
a
later
date.
With
imagine
clear
water,
it'll
be
a
competitive
bond
issue
and
any
underwriter
will
be
able
to
bid
on
the
spot
issue.
A
One
of
the
firms
is
raymond,
james,
the
city
attorney,
and
I
have
talked
about
that
and
I
have
no
conflict.
So
I
do
not
need
to
request
myself
on.
J
Council
alex
leon
engineering
manager
for
fluoride
gas,
I'm
looking
for
acceptance
to
or
actual
approval
for
this
big
package
for
locating
services
to
locate
our
lines
during
construction
activities,
as
well
as
other
utilities.

Upload
construction

Q
Good
morning
brian
langell
assistant
director
for
clearwater
gas
system,
this
is
a
request
from
the
florida
department
of
environmental
protection
that
they
want
us
to
install
three
new
monitoring
wells
at
our
site.
Located
at
the
gas
plant
site,
which
was
the
location
of
the
former
manufacturer
gas
plant
site,
where
we
used
to
manufacture,
create
the
gas
on
site
back
way.
Back
in
the
1920s
through
the
1950s
and.
AC
Q
Z
C
D
G
So
this
is
to
install
three
additional
groundwater
monitoring
wells.
Okay
and
we're
gonna
monitor
the
land
that
our
nuclear
water
gas
building
is
on
right
and
then
do
we
have
cost
to
be
concerned
with
the
field
monitoring
so
far
like.
Why
are
they
asking
us
to
do?
Three?
More,
that's
my
question.
I.
Q
Think
after
the
site
redevelopment
that
we
had
at
our
complex
over
the
last
few
years,
some
of
the
wells
were
abandoned
in
place
because
of
the
construction.
So
we
did
add
some
last
year
or
a
year
before
because
of
that,
so
we're
seeing
that
where
they
just
want
to
get
a
little
bit
more
data
around
the
perimeter.
Q
Well,
the
there's
a
lot
of
monoprinting
that's
been
done
over
the
years.
I
mean
we've
been
doing
this
for
over
25
years,
actually,
since
the
early
to
mid
90s
and
we're
just
now
getting
to
that
point,
where
we've
fully
identified
where
the
contaminants
are
in
the
ground
and
where
you
know,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
migrating
or
moving
or
having
any
other
impact
off-site.
O
Q
Site
in
certain
areas
that
are
associated
with
the
manufacturer
gas
plant
contaminants,
but
the
data
doesn't
show
that
it's
migrating
off
site
other
than
that
one
little
area
that
I
mentioned.
Q
Q
Well,
in
this
grandma's
sampling
is
22
200
for
to
do
all
the
sampling
of
the
wells.
For
this
one
proposal
to
go
across
the
whole
entire
site.
Q
G
And
if
we
have
a
certain
part
of
the
perimeter,
that's
that's
concerning
with
a
health
department
or
the
economic
health
site.
Can
we
just
monitor
that
perimeter
a
little
more
frequently
like?
Can
we
monitor
on
our
own,
or
are
we
solely
waiting
for
the
state
to
tell
us
you
need
to
do
some
monitoring
well.
Q
I
E

Theater.
T
Good
morning,
mayor
council,
I'm
jim
holland
with
director
parks
recreation.
In
march
of
this
year,
the
city
released
rfq
number
18-22
for
qualifications
for
a
venue
management
operator
for
the
coachman
park
amphitheater.
Subsequently,
the
city
received
three
bids.
Just
imagine.
L
T
I
T
These
were
two
very
qualified
candidates
that
we
had,
one
of
which
ruth
eckert
hall
has
a
deep
and
valued
partnership
and
relationship
with
the
city.
When
factoring
the
criteria
listed
above
and
taken
into
consideration
that
having
two
strong
industry
groups
working
with
each
other,
along
with
the
city,
it
could
be
an
opportunity
for
further
growth
of
live
entertainment
in
the
city
of
clearwater.
T
T
Committee
recommended
on
consideration
of
oakview
group
360
and
the
vinix
sports
group
for
venue
management
operator,
and
we
have
representatives
from
oakview
group
360
and
the
linux
sports
group.
So
right
now,
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
steve
griggs,
the
ceo
of
the
next
sports
group
to
walk
you
through
his
presentation.
V
Well,
thank
you
very
much
mayor
thanks
for
having
us
council,
thanks
for
having
us
much
easier
to
come
up
and
present
to
after
you've
won
a
series
in
toronto,
and
you
can
come
here
on
a
monday
and
present,
so
we're
so
excited
to
be
a
part
of
this
project
and
have
peter
luca
with
us
here
from
obg
obg.
I
am
the
ceo
of
vinix
sports
group,
as
well
as
the
tampa
bay
lightning.
V
V
I've
been
exports
group
since
2010,
and
so
we're
proud
to
be
here,
I'm
with
some
of
my
colleagues
angela
lanza
and
kelly
yellowshan,
look
after
the
booking
and
managing
marketing
of
our
buildings,
as
well
as
kevin
priest
who
is
our
chief
venue
officer
for
all
the
venues
that
we
run
here
in
the
tampa
bay
area.
So
with
that.
AD
D
AD
Developer
of
sports
and
entertainment
facilities
in
the
world,
we
have
some
five
billion
dollars
in
capital
invested
in
venues
and,
what's
interesting
about
that,
is
that
every
venue
that
we're
investing
in
is
going
to
be
owned
by
a
city
or
county
or
state.
So
we
invest
the
money
in
facilities,
but
they're
owned
publicly,
and
I
think
that's
very
important
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
assimilate
into
the
community.
We
think
that's
very,
very
important.
We
become
part
of
the
community,
we're
operators
we're
bookers,
we're
not
promoters.
AD
We're
5
000
employees,
8
900,
live
events,
234
venues
we're
we're
some
six
years
old
that
we've
grown
tremendously
in
that
period
of
time.
We
really
believe
in
this
marketplace
and
having
such
great
partners
in
the
sports
group.
We
see
that
there's
a
void
here
in
this
marketplace
for
this
type
of
venue
and
also
this
capacity
very,
very
exciting
for
us.
V
And
with
our
team
vinxx
sports
group,
as
you
know,
we
came
in
with
jeff
vinnick
back
in
2010
and
it
was
about
transformation.
V
It
was
about
transformation
of
the
lighting
brand
transformation
of
the
emily
arena
at
that
time
was
with
the
saint
pete
times
forum
and
really
was
working
in
partnership
and
building
that
relationship
with
the
city,
as
well
as
the
county
working
with
mike
merrill
and
the
county
commissioners,
as
well
as
at
that
point
in
time,
bob
buckhorn
and
the
council
there
to
transform
that
building
there
and
and
what
it
is
today
with
emily
arena
and
obviously
the
transformation
of
our
hockey
team
as
well.
It
allowed
us
then,
to
build
an
incredible
arena.
V
Experience
that
you
now
see
at
emily
arena,
and
with
that
the
fan
experience.
The
guest
experience
was
number
one
priority
of
jeff
vinnick,
as
well
as
the
commitment
to
the
community
with
that.
That's
allowed
us
to
grow
and
build
our
business,
which
is
now
vsg
live
which
is
overseeing
the
england
center,
which
is
at
the
usf,
which
was
the
usf
sun
dome
judy
genshaft
said
I
want
to
have
the
same
fan
experience
the
same
commitment
to
the
community
that
you
guys
have
in
that
building
there.
V
So,
therefore,
back
in
2015,
we
were
able
to
take
over
that
building.
We
took
over
their
mmr
rights
as
well
as
telling
all
the
sponsorship,
and
since
then
too,
we've
also
taken
over
raven.
V
As
well
doing
all
the
box
office
and
ticketing
promotion
there
so
for.
N
V
I
said,
it's
really
been
a
focus
on
our
core
values
of
how
we
take
care
of
our
our
team,
both
on
and
off
the
ice,
but,
more
importantly,
how
we
take
care
of
our
our
fan
experience
and
so
for
us,
like
we
said,
we've
built
this
brand
about
being
a
world-class
organization
and
how
we
treat
our
fans.
So
from
the
time
we
walk
onto
the
plaza
at
emily
arena
to
the
ushers,
the
ticket
takers,
the
food
and
beverage
experience
the
mar
the
the
retail.
V
All
of
that,
the
fan
experience
in
our
building
has
been
seconded
on.
That's
really
what
it
says
to
park,
as
well
as
how
we
take
care
of
our
promoters
and
as
well
as
our
artists
that
come
into
our
building.
It's
a
number
one
experience
and
then,
most
importantly,
is
about
our
commitments
back
to
the
community.
So
we
all
know
what
jeff
finnick
has
done
for
this
community.
It's
our
number
one
value
as
what
we
do
in
this
community.
V
V
And
why
are
you
asking?
Why
are
we
working
with
obg
we've
been
partners
for
a
long
time?
We've
been
friends
for
a
long
time,
so
we
work
with
them
on
the
arena
alliance,
our
some
of
our
sponsorship
opportunities,
but
they
are
a
true
partner
in
our
building.
They
are
a
national
powerhouse
when
it
comes
to
operating
venues
or
regional
powerhouse
when
it
comes
to
operating
venues,
and
so
we
feel
we
have
a
full
package
here.
They
have
a
food
and
beverage
program.
We
know
how
to
sell
tickets.
V
We
have
a
great
database,
we
know
how
to
we
have
a
marketing
program.
We
have
all
the
key
pieces
in
place.
Our
guests
and
fan
experience
like
we
talked
about
before,
but
most
importantly,
we
talked
about
our
commitment
to
the
community,
our
commitment
to
community
events.
When
you
come
to
emily
arena,
we
have
over
30
events
that
are
not
even
seen
on
the
books,
which
is
all
about
doing
community
walks,
building
bikes
in
our
arena,
with
with
on
bikes,
we're
working
with
titus
o'deal
and
doing
backpacks
and
the
blessings.
V
So
all
those
different
types
of
things
that
we
do
inside
our
venue
as
some
of
the
most
important
things
that
we
do
and
that's
what
creates
the
relationship
that
we
have
with
the
community,
not
only
in
hillsboro
but
in
pinellas
and
pasco.
So
I.
AD
Think
when
you
look
at
the
partnership,
you
see
the
combination
of
our
two
companies,
one
our
ability
to
invest
start.
We
want
skin
in
the
game.
We
take
operating
risks.
We
participate.
One
of
our
partners.
Irving
a's
up
also
happens
to
be
one
of
the
most
powerful
managers
in
music.
So
we
have
a
manager
behind
us,
even
though
we
don't
promote
per
se.
He
controls
many
of
these
acts
and
we'll
work
with
any
local
promoter
that
we
can
bring
to
this
to
the
party.
Here.
AD
I
just
think
long
term.
We
really
can
benefit
the
city
of
clearwater,
we
can
invest,
we
can
make
changes,
we
put
skin
in
the
game
and
I
think
that's
what's
important
and
we've
been
partners
for
four
years
in
the
arena
alliance,
so
you've
got
a
good
combination
here
of
people
that
are
local
and
also
have.
I
think,
the
national
power.
V
And
when
you
talk
about
partnering
with
major
event
promoters,
it
is
the
aeg's
the
world.
It
is
the
live
nations.
It's
the
felds,
it's
the
outbacks!
It's
the
messina
group.
We
have
an
open
venue
in
both
the
england
center,
as
well
as
emily
arena,
so
emily
arena,
one
of
the
top
five
buildings
in
north
america.
Right
now,
when
you
talk
about
a
number
of
concerts
and
vets
in
our
building
and
yingling.
C
C
V
AD
Our
224
days
are
all
open.
We
have
no
exclusivities
anywhere
in
the
country
to
get
just
so
you
can
look
at
a
couple
of
our
projects.
I
think
this
is
very
interesting,
one
of
them
being
ubs
arena
in
belmont
billion
dollar
facility.
We're
partners
with
the
new
york
islanders
we're
partners
with
the
seattle
kraken
in
the
arena,
climate
change
arena
there
what's
interesting
in
seattle,
is
it's
going
to
be
the
first
carbon
neutral
arena
in
the
history
of
this
business,
so
we're
committed
to
sustainability,
inclusion
and
protecting
our
environment.
AD
Tampa
is
something
that
these
guys
are
very,
very
involved
in
we're
very
involved
in
a
music
center
virginia
beach
that
is
going
to
be
built.
Rather
soon
we
just
opened
a
brand
new
arena
in
savannah
georgia,
so
we're
investing
equity
and
we're
investing
in
these
marketplaces
and
again
having
a
great
partner.
We
feel
we
can
really
do
something
special
here
and.
V
We've
done
it
both
in
emily
and
yingling.
You
know
with
emily
back
in
2010
when
we
came
here,
the
building
was,
you
know
in
disrepair.
The
thermostats
weren't
working
the
receipts
were
rusting
off
this
heatsink,
and
it
knew
that
at
that
point
in
time
he
had
to
invest
in
a
publicly
owned
building
in
order
to
make
sure
we
had
the
right
products
and
services
to
create
that
amazing
fan
experience
that
you
now
see
in
our
arena.
There.
AD
D
AA
So
with
all
that
being
said,
we
have
a
true
clear
vision
on
how
we
try
to
manage
events
throughout
all
our
facilities.
Our
first
goal
is
to
have
the
most
diverse
event
mix
we
can
possibly
have
to
serve
all
of
our
community
and,
as
tampa
bay
becomes,
the
10th
largest
market.
AA
We've
got
an
extremely
diverse
audience
that
we
can
sell
to
so
having
a
mixture
of
local
events,
community
events
and
national
touring
acts
is
the
perfect
fabric
of
an
event
mix
that
will
serve
the
entire
community.
With
that
being
said,
all
of
those
different
things
and
see
reference
with
us
getting
involved
with
raymond
james.
AA
With
our
database,
emily
yingling
and
the
other
things
that
we
do
throughout
the
community
through
walks
and
runs
and
different
things
along
those
lines,
I
think
on
bikes
was
mentioned.
All
of
those
things
add
to
our
database.
So
we
can
make
sure
that
we
create
awareness
for
everybody
in
our
community
about
opportunities
that
we
have
for
entertainment,
which.
I
AA
AA
About
it,
you
won't
go,
and
if
you
find
out
about
it,
you
know
through
facebook
or
instagram
the
next
day,
and
you
missed
it.
You've
missed
it.
So
you
can't
go
back
and
do
that,
but
we
also
look
at
like
the
shared
use
with
our
community.
We're
really
excited
about
this
project
and,
as
we
were,
walking
the
the
site
space
with
with
jim
and
chris.
AA
I
just
have
this
vision
of
having
this
amazing
thing
happening
on
our
amphitheater
stage
as
you're
watching
the
sunset
over
the
interface,
I
mean
how
much
more
of
a
picturesque
thing
talk
about
storytelling.
Those
are
the
things
that
people
will
share
for
the
rest
of
the
lives
and
we
will
definitely
earn
some
social
media
clout
there.
AA
AD
You
know
we're
members
of
the
community,
we'll
have
a
strong
relationship
with
everybody
in
the
community,
and
we
just
really-
and
I
can't
say
this
enough-
we
assimilate
into
the
community.
This
venue
is
a
community
venue.
We
want
to
invest,
we
want
to
take
operated
risk,
but
at
the
same
time
we
as
as
kevin
mentioned,
we
want
diverse
community
events.
Okay,
it's
very
important
that
we
bring
things
for
all
people
and.
D
AD
And
we'll
put
the
money
behind
it,
we'll
co-promote
with
local
promoters,
we'll
work
very
closely
with
the
community
themselves.
There'll
be
a
number
of
free
events.
We
think
that's
very,
very
important
to
have
certain
community
days
where,
if
we're
successful
with
our
other
events,
will
give
us
the
ability
to
afford
the
community
the
opportunity
to
use
this
venue
in
a
free
manner
everywhere
we
go.
We
have
a
number
of
free
community
events.
We
look
around
that
again.
V
And
I
think
from
a
local
level,
I
think
everyone
knows
the
reputation
of
jeff
finnick
and
everyone
that
works
at
the
tampa
bay
lighting
that
there's
a
commitment
to
the
community.
It
has
been
the
day
we
arrived
here.
Well,
there's
the
community
hero
program,
which
has
gone
over
25
million
dollars
over
the
last
11
years.
5.8
of
it
has
been
pushed
into
to
great
community
efforts
in
pinellas
county
people.
Doing
god's
work
in
pinellas
county
we've,
rewarded
them
at
hockey
games,
but
we're
not
just
involved.
V
We
don't
just
do
the
community
hero
program,
we're
involved
in
all
the
coveted
relief
programs
dei
initiatives,
arts
and
entertainment,
education,
jeff,
finnick
and
our
organization
has
has
spent
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
giving
and
giving
back
to
the
community
in
all
of
those
different
things.
We've
done.
A
thousand
schools
already
I'll
be
announced
this
week
with
the
with
our
community
hockey
program,
we've
built
ten
ten
outdoor
rinks
throughout
the
community,
two
of
them
being
pinellas
county.
Just
before
covet.
V
We
did
the
george
strait
concert
out
there
on
the
beach
there
for
stage
four
cancer
survivors
working
with
with
working
with
our
military
and,
of
course,
there's
just
many
more
charitable
events.
I
have
to
see
rodriguez,
but
there's
so
many
more
that
you
don't
even
hear
about,
but
the
commitment
from
our
organization,
the
commitment
from
jeff
vinick
and
his
family
to
hillsborough,
county
pinellas,
county
saint
petersburg
tampa
and
clearwater.
It's
unprecedented
from
a
from
an
owner
of
pro
sports.
AA
So
the
rfq
specifically
referenced
the.
How
do
we
offset
the
the
baby
boomer
generation
and
different
things
like
that?
So
this
was
addressed
directly
in
here,
one
because
it
was
mentioned
specifically
one
of.
AA
That
we've
embraced
one
is
the
big
boomer
generation,
more
disposable
income,
plenty
of
free
time
to
do
stuff.
We
actually
had
nine
concerts
in
emily
over
the
month
of
april,
and
five
of
them
were
baby
boomer
acts.
Those
are
16
or
15
to
16
000
seat
venues.
The
next
step
in
their
career
of
their
evolution
is
probably
about
a
9
000
seat,
amphitheater
right
on
the
water
here
in
clearwater
right
so.
AA
AD
M
AD
D
AD
As
we've
said
earlier,
you
can
see
the
number
of
promoters
that
we
do
work
with.
We
work
with
everybody,
it's
very,
very
important
for
us
to
do
that
also
family
shows,
I
think
family
shows
play
a
big
part
of
this.
We'll
look
to
book
family
shows
in
this
facility.
So
it's
just
not
all
about
the
music.
It's
other
types
of
events
within
a
marketplace.
We
have
the
relationships
we
have
people,
we
have.
Eight
bookers
in
our
company
also
go
along
with
the
fine
booking
staff
here.
AA
AA
And
event,
event
creation.
Our
goal
here
is
for
us
to
focus
locally
on
what
we
want
to
bring
to
the
tampa
bay
community
and
then
work
nationally
with
our
friends
at
obg360
to
be
in
that
route.
So
the
things
that
are
happening
in
virginia
beach,
things
that
are
happening
in
west
palm,
the
different
things
to
make
sure
that
we're
at
the
forefront
as
tours
are
getting
routed.
That
clearwater
is
part
of
the
conversation
as
we
do
that
we
can
take
those
events,
those
national
events
that
come
through
that
create,
hopefully
a
larger.
I
AA
AA
And
repurpose,
some
of
those
profits
into
farmers
markets
different
things
that
activate
this
space
for
our
community,
as
well
as
incorporate
all
of
the
legacy
events
that
have
been
hosted
at
coachman
park
for
years
summer.
Splash
was
just
one
of
the
ones
that
happened.
It
got
displaced
through
the
construction,
bringing
that
back
in
and
making
that
one
of
its
fixed
franchises
throughout
the
course
of
the
year.
AA
AA
U
On
the
florida
orchestra
point,
so
as
we
empower
our
managers
on
site
to
be
entrepreneurs,
I
think
we've
talked
about.
Obviously
we
believe
in
music,
but
we
also
believe
in
the
community
events
that
we
can
be
there.
We
met
with
mark
in
the
florida
orchestra
about
a
month
ago,
really
brainstorming
ideas.
He
said
you
know
what
it'd
be
really
great:
to
have
this
site
for
the
clearwater
to
have
spring
training
for
world
renowned
orchestras
across
the
world.
We.
E
I
U
Have
a
spectacular
week
or
two
weeks
of
spring
training
for
florida
for
us,
that's
one
of
our
commitments
that
you
know.
Should
we
move
forward
that
we
will
start
right
away
and,
as
I
said,
we're
really
going
to
be
aggressive
to
be
sure
that
we
we're
creative,
we're
working
directly
with
you
and
the
community
to
feature
all
the
vets
that
people
want
to
come
to.
AD
V
And
we're
excited
to
move
forward.
You
have
our
commitment,
you
have
jeff
bennett's
commitment
and
we
look
forward
to
transforming
and
doing
exactly
what
we've
done
with
emily
rainey
england
center
to
make
sure
the
coachman
park
in
the
amphitheater.
There
is
extremely
successful
for
this
city
for
this
community.
N
N
You
know
this
is
this
music
event
has
been
kind
of
in
our
minds
for
a
long
time,
the
amphitheater
down
on
the
water.
I.
N
An
amphitheater
because
there's
no
fixed
seating
and
that
kind
of
scared
people
off
in
the
beginning,
when
we're
talking
about
doing
some,
bigger
venue
and
and
just
to
give
you
guys
a
kind
of
a
heads
up
on
the
history
of
it.
You
know
we
had
a
a
consultant
come
down
from
new
york.
That
said,
oh
no,
you
should
be
no
bigger
than
2500
seats
and
we,
you
know-
and
I
was
like
it's
got
to
be
bigger
than
that.
I
mean
we
don't
want
to
be
in
competition
with
the
music.
N
Then
you
know
venues
we
already
have
we
got
to
do
something
in
the
next
step.
So
I'm
glad
that
that
we
did
go
the
bigger
cover.
N
We
had
to
have
it
covered,
but
what
I'm
concerned
about
is
being
a
good
neighbor
number
one.
We've
got
you
know
residential
around.
I
mean
it's
not
out
in
the
country
like
a
lot
of
venues.
Are
I
mean
we've
got
residents
were
right
there
and
we
have
moved
it
over
to
the
north
side
to
kind
of
get
it
away
from
water's
edge,
but
the
people
there
have
a
concern
about
the
noise
and
the
music
and
the
volume
of
music,
and
we've
discussed
that
before
on
how
we're
going
to
do
that.
N
How
that
goes,
I
wanted
to
know.
I
guess
the
question
in
that
would
be
how
how
would
you
that
that
particular
problem?
How
would
you
solve
that
problem
with
the
vets
I
mean
I
mean
you
did
say
one
of
the
big
events
that
was
displaced.
N
I
mean
that's
really
loud,
music
and
there's
nothing
wrong
with
diversification
and
diversity
of
events,
I'm
all
for
that.
But
how
we?
How
would
you
number
one?
N
N
AA
In
here,
so
one
of
the
things
that
would
be
key
for
all
of
our
what
would
be
key
for
all
of
our
successes
to
have
good
relationships
with
the
neighbors
and
understanding
and
having
lines
of
communications
that
they
understand
what's
coming
and
then
work
to
agree
upon
how
and
when
the
appropriate
timeliness
end
to
your
point,
you
went
from
what
was
perceived
as
a
desired
2500
seat,
amphitheater
to
9,
000,
more
people,
more
audio,
so
you're
going
to
have
like,
even
if
it's
an
orchestra,
it's
going
to
be
louder
because
it's
playing
to
9
000
people
versus
2,
500
people.
AA
So
it's
a,
but
it
is
a
mixture
right.
It's
a
mixture
of
the
relationships
within
the
community,
educating
the
community,
embracing
them
and
making
them
aware
of
what's
going
to
be
happening,
but
also
kind
of
meet
those
those
guidelines
or
that
criteria
on
what's
appropriate
end
times
and
things
along
those
lines.
So
you
know
we
typically
have
noise
restrictions
and
and
where
we
are
right
now
and
we
work
through
those
to
make
sure
to
have
concerts
every
night
would
be
unrealistic
right.
It's
not
going
to
be
blaring
music
or
whether
you
like
it
or
not.
AA
L
AA
W
I
AA
AD
U
With
an
outdoor
amphitheater
attached,
there's
residential
housing
that
literally
overlooks
the
amphitheater
and
so
we're
having
discussions.
One
is
the
way
sound
is
these
days.
You
can
tune
the
sound,
so
it's
specifically
to
your
to
your
audience
and
this
nonsense
must
lead
to
the
residential
around
it.
So
that's
the
first
point.
The
second
peter
said
early
curfews,
a
lot
of
discussion,
a
lot
of
communication,
so
there's
no
surprises.
N
Just
one
more
question:
you've
from
early
on
you've
said
that
you're
going
to
invest-
and
I
know
that
bennett
invests
with
a
lot
of
things
in
our
community
and
I
love
that
all
the
things
that
he
does,
but
specifically
willingness
to
invest
in
the
amphitheater
here.
What
are
you?
What
are
you
talking
about.
AD
The
it
was
an
rfq
right,
it
was
a
request
for
qualification,
so
there
isn't
a
ton
of
detail
in
that,
but
what
we'd
like
to
do
immediately
sit
down
with
staff
and
say:
okay,
what's
in
your
budget,
what
what
is
not
in
your
budget
that
maybe
would
enhance
the
facility.
So
it's
really
to
sit
down
say
what
is
the
program
specifically
what
is
being
built,
what
is
being
proposed
with
architects
and
then
look
at
other
areas
that
maybe
we
could
enhance
that
and
invest
in
financially.
Thank
you.
U
I'll
just
add
to
that
real
quick,
just
as
an
example,
peter
mentioned
the
facility
that
we
just
opened
in
savannah
georgia
again
municipally
owned
facility.
We
came
in
as
part
of
our
relationship
with
the
city
and
we
put
in
total
it's
going
to
be
close
to
7
million
in
the
building
one
first
outfit.
The
food
and
beverage
stands
because
that
was
not.
You
know
the
peter
point
that
was
not
in
the
budget,
so
we
helped
with
that
and
then
we
actually
came
in.
U
O
Questions
not
a
question,
but
I
watched
your
full
presentation
and
I
was
blown
away.
I
mean
this
really
is
going
to
be
transformative
and
I
was
excited
to
to
hear
your
ideas
like
the
spring
training
for
the
orchestras,
wonderful
and
you
talked
about
transportation
and
tying
in
with
beach
events,
bussing
people,
perhaps
back
and
forth.
So
you
you've
been
thinking
big
about
this
and
I
think
you've
got
the
ability
to
do
that.
So
I'm
extremely
excited.
F
F
G
It
seems
to
me
you
know
if
we're
talking
about
noise,
that
any
concerns
with
noise
really
are
dealt
with
with
the
end
date
of
a
concert
for
the
end
time
of
a
concert,
and
so
you
either
have
weekdays
they
have
to
end
by
10
or
weekends.
By
midnight
I
mean
truly
that's
what
it
really
comes
down
to
right,
pretty
much
yeah.
AD
I
V
New
residential
units
right
around
our
arena,
98
rockfest,
is
probably
one
of
our
bigger
events
that
you
know
causes
concern
for
our
harbor
island.
We
talk
with
them,
we're
working
with
the
city
we
work
with
with
the
mayor.
We
work
with
the
the
police
and
we
make
sure
we're
adhering
to
every
single
noise
order
needs
to
make
that
happen.
AD
I
think
the
other
piece,
if
you
look
at
this
site,
it's
just
tremendous
there's
going
to
be
so
many
daytime
events
here.
That
really
won't
be
an
issue
for
the
neighbors.
At
all
I
mean
the
ability
to
do
festivals
of
different
sizes
from
you
know:
2
000
to
8
000..
That's
really!
What
excites
us
about
the
site
is,
you
know.
G
I
also
had
a
question
about
so
you
mentioned
in
your
in
your
proposal.
There's
a
whole
lot
of
mention
mentioning
about
profit
and
maximizing
profit
and
revenue,
and
I
think
that's
fantastic.
That's
what
it's
there
for
I
mean
when
we
moved
from
2500
to
a
9
000
max.
You
know
venue
it's
a
different
animal
and
and
we've
kind
of
got
it
as
this
economic
generator
right
now.
G
One
of
the
things
I
need
to
understand
better
is
when
you
talk
when
we
talk
about
food
and
beverage
being
a
you
know,
a
profit
generator
and
and
a
premier
food
experience
here.
G
It's
my
understanding
and
somebody
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
that
we
don't
you
know
we
have
the
venue
and
then
we
have
the
back
of
house
for
the
artist
and
all
that
business.
We
don't
have
a
structure
on
that
property
other
than
what
may
come
up
with
a
bluff
development
for
food
service
and
that's
a
big
deal,
because
it's
my
understanding
that
we're
constrained
by
the
charter
we're
not
building
another
structure
on
that
property
for
any
premier
food
service.
So
I
I
don't.
AD
Of
any
size
I
mean
it
could
be
food
trucks.
I
mean
one
thing
that
we're
very
is
very
important
to
us
that
we
bring
in
local
purveyors
and
buy
locally
and
partner
with
local
restaurants
and
businesses.
That's
the
way
to
do
business,
and
it's
very
successful.
We
do
that
in
all
the
markets.
So
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
is
sit
down
and
see.
Okay,
what
can
be
done
here?
What
cannot
be
done
and
then.
I
AD
G
C
G
The
amphitheater
in
the
back
of
house
and
all
that,
with
your
input
to
that's
nice
profit
and
that
and
maximize
the
pleasurable
experience-
and
I
have
in
the
back
of
my
head-
that
you
have
a
you-
know:
zero
carbon
venue
in
seattle.
That's
nice,
that's
fantastic!
It's
more
than
nice!
It's
fantastic!
G
G
U
That
was
a
company
but
yeah
to
peter's
point
I
mean
we
have
a
whole
division.
That's
focused
on
sustainability
in
our
venues,
so
we'll
bring
those
expert
experts
out
to
meet
with
synergistic,
to
really
be
sure
that
we're
putting
all
the
best
practices
in
place
for
the
public
assembly
events.
You
know
for
this
park,
so
that's
it
truly.
I
think
it's
one
of
the
advantages
that
we
offer
is
that
it's
it's
a
whole
part
of
our
mission
as
a
company
in
our
vision,
and
we
have
a
department,
that's
just
aimed
at
sustainability,.
G
Another
thing
I
was
hoping
to
find
in
here
or
see
is
you
know
in
the
references
and
they're
listed,
I
would
ask:
did
staff
call
the
references,
and
so
I
got
that
question
about
references,
because
I
was
thinking
I'd
like
to
hear
from
elected
officials
or
city
leaders
in
these
different
communities
and
find
out.
How
does
a
community
like
this
venue
and
how
are
how
are
they?
Are
they
good
neighbors?
And
what
does
I
really
want
to
see?
G
You
know
what
a
lineup
looks
like
in
you
know:
austin
or
colorado,
wherever
you
have
those
and
what
is
the
blend
of
small
town
community
events
versus
these
big
big
names
and
I'd
like
to
understand
you
know
and
again
this
is,
I
think,
we're
just
being
asked
to
who
do
we
want
to
enter
into
beginning
negotiations,
but
and
and
so
hopefully
we
can
have
another
conversation
at
another
time
about
those
finite
things.
G
And
with
that
in
mind,
then
I
guess
yeah
that
I
I
just
was
concerned
about
understanding
the
limitations
of
what
you
can
do
on
this
property
and
and
then
I
wanted
to
understand,
if
staff
reached
out
to
the
references
and
then
how
did
staff
you
know
actually
do
their
scoring,
and
so
that
might
come
at
the
end
of
the
second
presentation,
but
I
think
yeah,
my
I
have
a
lot
of
notes
that
I'd
love
to
sit
down
if
you're
chosen
and
then
you
know
or
other
meetings.
T
We
can
get
with
our
purchasing
division
and
provide
that
information.
The
scoring
sheets,
the
criteria
that
we
use-
and
you
know
basically
the
criteria-
is
stated
out
on
the
rfq
so
on
the
rfq
lists,
what
the
criteria
was
that
was
going
to
be
judged
on,
but
we
can
provide
the
scoring
sheets.
That's
all
public
record.
We
can
get
with
our
care
advantage
to
get
that
done.
T
A
A
A
U
No,
as
we
started
to
talk
about
the
baby
boomers
up
and
down
the
capacity
as
far
as
a
niche
in
the
market
is
spot
on,
these
boutique
amphitheaters,
which
is
the
term
in
our
industry,
are
becoming
more
popular
across
the
country
and
the
acts
like
to
play
them.
We
think
this
site
is
going
to
be
a
destination
site,
not
just
for
patrons
to
come,
but
for
artists
to
play.
So
we
absolutely
think
you
hit
it
right
out
of
the
park
and
you
know
we're.
AA
Right
nikki,
I
think
someone
mentioned
not
having
the
thick
seating
that
creates
an
ability
to
make
the
room
the
right
size
for
the
right
event.
It.
AA
There
that's
appropriate
for
25
to
2800
people.
We
can
seat
it
accordingly.
If
we
go
to
the
full
4
000
seated
with
the
5000
on
the
lawn,
that's
appropriate.
We
have
the
flexibility
to
do
that
so
yeah,
looking
at
the
site,
there's
there's
some
some
questions
still
and
as
we
continue
to
evolve
at
the
end
of
the
day,
our
goal
is
to
have
the
opportunity
to
put
the
most
diverse
vet
mix
in
here.
D
AA
If
you
go
to,
if
you
go
to
a
party
with
100
people
in
it,
and
it's
a
thousand
person
room,
it's
kind
of
a
stinker,
but
if
it's
for
7
500
people,
it
feels
like
a
really
good
party
right,
so
right
sizing,
the
space
is,
is
spot
on
for
what
this
does
and
to
doug's
point.
We
truly
feel
like
this
will
be
a
destination
play.
There's
a
lot
of
things.
There's
a
lot
of
different
venues
in
our
marketplace.
Right
raymond
james
holds
60
000
people
emily's
at
20,
yingling
center's
at
you,
know,
10
11.
AA
AA
AA
Size
appropriate
for
the
smaller
axe
and
truth
be
told.
You
know
this
is
a
niche,
and
this
was
mentioned
earlier.
This
is
a
niche
size
in
this
bin
in
this
marketplace
that
doesn't
exist.
You
know
we
talk
about
the
the
and
I
use
the
reference
of
the
the
back
side
of
the
bell
curve.
As
artists
come
on
they're
playing
smaller
rooms,
they
continue
to
grow
until
they
peek
out
at
a
stadium
tour,
and
then
they
come
back
down
on
the
back
side
of
the
bell
curve.
AA
Right
now
that
eight
to
nine
thousand
seat
niche
doesn't
exist
in
our
marketplace.
You
have
the
fact
that
it's
a
destination
play
on
the
water
for
a
venue
that
can
be
year-round
right.
Like
you
mentioned,
denver
and
and
and
somewhere
else,
a
lot
of
those
amphitheaters
have
to
close
for
the
winter.
It
gets
cold
up
there
we
get
to
play
with
it
365
days
a
year.
It
allows
for
other
things
to
happen
as
people
come
into
our
marketplace.
AA
AA
To
who
we
are
as
the
type
of
a
community
and
as
the
city
of
clearwater,
so
there's
certain
things
that
may
not
make
sense
anywhere
else,
whereas
we
have
an
influx
of
snowbirds
into
our
community.
Something
might
be
very
niche
that
speaks
to
that
audience.
Who's
very
important
to
us
because
of
the
tourism
dollars.
AA
D
A
Mr
vinnick
has
been
a
wonderful
addition
to
the
tampa
bay
area.
I
think
he's
a
model
for
a
major
franchise
owner.
What
is
the
exact
relationship
between
obg
and
the
bennett
group?
What
are
going
to
be
your
roles?
A
V
On
a
daily
basis,
we'll
be
we'll
be
our
organization
and
we'll
work
collectively
on
the
capital
agreement
once
we
understand
what
the
needs
are
going
to
be,
and
you
have
our
commitment
from
jeff,
as
in
our
relationship
with
obg,
to
to
find
that
capital
that
is
needed,
but
from
an
operating
perspective,
that'll
be
on
on
us
just
like
we
do
the
england
center
and
just
that
we
do
the
amway
or
emily
arena
from
a
booking
perspective.
V
This
is
where
you
get
the
horsepower
of
both
obg
as
well
as
vsg.
You
get
that
hooking
up
from
from
a
scope
of
large
promoters
to
local
promoters
and
working
together.
So
you
have
the
full
scope
and
gambit
of
everything
and
then,
when
you
talk
about
fan
and
guest
experience,
that's
really
going
to
be
on
bsg,
because
that's
our
expertise
in
this
marketplace,
as
well
as
the
career
of
part-time
workers
and
and
bringing
on
and
training
all
those
great
people
that
are
going
to
create
that
fan
experience
in
coachman
park.
So
you.
I
A
AD
You
know
we're
we're
50
50
partners,
so
it
isn't.
I
don't
think
it's
a
beast.
I
think
it's
a
great
partnership.
It
also
gives
us
the
ability
to
do
more
for
the
community.
Absolutely
we
will
commit
to
a
number
of
community
days
and
we'll
exceed
that.
So
I
think
the
ability
to
bring
in
the
shows
make
it
profitable
be
financially
stable.
Gives
you
the
opportunity
to
give
back
so
and.
A
F
A
Also
want
to
point
out
to
people,
you
don't
originate
concerts.
I
mean
these
concerts
are
going
on
tour
and
they
generally
have
a
venue
type
in
mind.
We're
going
to
kind
of
be
on
that
tour
as
they
come
through.
Florida
go
to
jacksonville
and
miami
avail
themselves
of
other
facilities
that
are
somewhat
similar
correct.
A
A
AA
AA
D
AA
AA
AA
If
we
want
to
go
down
that
path
and
then
you
add
in
the
legacy
events,
you
add
in
the
different
type
of
community
things:
farmers
markets,
socials,
food
truck
festivals,
all
of
these
different
things
that
are
possible
that
not
are
only
enhancing
the
amphitheater
but
also
elevating
the
awareness
of
coachman
park,
because
it's
more
than
just
an
amphitheater
and
everything
that
we
put
in
there
adds
to
whatever
it
is,
and
vice
versa.
So
having
that
mix
is
going
to
have
to
be
right
sized
for
what
we
believe
to
be
true.
AA
N
C
AA
A
front-facing
experience
it
might
be
adding
a
different
type
of
loading
dock
door
because
it
gets
people
in
and
out
better
right,
because
if
the
artists
don't
come
in
and
have
a
good
experience,
they're
not
going
to
want
to
come
back
so
having
all
of
those
different
things.
Add
to
what
we're
trying
to
do
and.
AA
Not
very
specific,
we
don't
have
a
ton
of
information.
We
also
have
never
had
this
in
human
market.
We've
never
had
a
waterfront
amphitheater
that
holds
9000
people,
so
I
believe
that
we
have
all
the
pieces
in
place
with
the
local
investment
in
our
community
and
then
the
national
power
of
obg,
to
put
all
those
things
together
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
the
right
things
and
using
national
examples
to
guide
us,
but
then
also
what
feels
appropriate
for
us
locally
in
the
community.
AA
AA
North
of
30,
probably
big
ones
between
5k,
runs
fundraising
walks.
I
think
steve
referenced,
the
titus
o'neil
backpack
build.
We
do
the
on
bikes,
build
all
of
those
things
that
we
do.
Sometimes
you
don't
hear
about
them.
Sometimes
they're
things
through
the
different
charities,
the
big
brothers,
big
sisters,
breakfast
those
things,
aren't
things
that
we
publicize
one,
because
we
don't
need
people
coming
down
to
them
that
are
either
registered
through
the
walk
or
the
run,
or
it's
an
invite-only
thing
for
the
donors
for
the
big
brothers,
big
sisters
or
something
along
the
lines.
AA
L
AA
AE
D
AA
That
we
put
in
there
that
I
don't
like-
I
don't
listen
to
them
or
whatever
doesn't
mean
all
of
you
don't
want
to
go
there.
It's
not
my
job
to
decide
what
people
are
going
to
want
and
my
job
is
to
make
sure
that
we
bring
it
to
the
marketplace
as
appropriate
and
then
make
sure
that
we
make
creative
awareness
to
generate
the
most
ticket
sales
from
it.
So
those
people
can't
erase
what
we're
doing.
A
Mr
cruz,
you
said
that
you
brought
skating
rinks
over
to
pinellas.
Where
were
those
located
when
you
did.
A
Mr
luco,
can
you
help
me
in
the
materials
that
we
received
global
spectrum?
What
is
the
relationship
between
obg
and
global
spectrum.
AD
AD
A
F
A
I
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
We
will
reconvene
the
may
16th
work
session
before
we
go
to
item
5.1.
I
just
want
to
congratulate
the
chief
because
he.
C
A
Spearheaded
this
program
for
the
entire
county,
and
if
you
talk
to
other
chiefs
or
the
sheriff
he
they
will
tell
you
that
this
would
not
have
happened
without
chief
slaughter,
so
I
wanna
I
want
to
commend
you
for
it.
Thank
you.
AF
So
what
this
iod
creates
with
parties
is
the
pinellas
regional
information
management
enterprise
with
prime
that
outlines
the
basic
corporate
structure
of
the
administrative
entity
to
manage
a
shared
public
safety,
cad
and
rms
system
in
pinellas
county.
The
police
department's
patent
rms
system
has
been
in
place
since
2007
two
different
systems
in
our
particular
case
currently,
and
both
are
kind
of
near
their
end
of
their
useful
life.
We
anticipated
this
so
in
2019,
the
police
standards
council
created
a
work
group
to
explore
the
establishment
of
a
shared
public
safety
cabinet
rms
system.
AF
This
work
group
has
researched
available
product
features,
similar
consortiums
and
governance
models,
and
the
group
collectively
crafted
an
rfp
together
and
published
it
through
the
sheriff
for
a
cad
rms
product,
and
then
the
work
group
reviewed
vigorously
all
the
vendor
responses
and
ultimately
recommended
a
vendor
selection
for
a
company
called
hexagon
for
this
shared
system.
This
shared
this
selection
of
hexagon
was
done
with
the
mindset
that
the
product
would
service
the
entire
consortium,
which
is
not
just
the
police
department.
It's
also
your
regional
911,
your
fire
departments
and
your
ems.
AF
It's
an
entire
high
entire
public
safety
ecosystem.
The
ileo
establishes
the
admin
entity
with
the
board
of
directors
so
that
each
party
will
have
a
single
vote
regardless
of
size
and
operate
and
manage
the
branch.
Prime
prime
group,
which
will
manage
the
shared
catamounts
system.
It
provides
a
cost-sharing
model
that
is
based
on
the
total
number
of
licenses
and
the
number
of
licenses
per
agency.
AF
It's
a
five-year
agreement
with
an
auto
renew
each
year
thereafter
for
a
total
of
10
years.
There's
no
financial
component
for
the
item,
that's
in
front
of
you
today,
but
before,
but
the
financial
costs
will
come
before
the
council
at
a
future
date.
There
is
a
addendum
that
kind
of
gives
you
an
estimate
of
what
the
cost
breakdown
is
expected
to
be.
This
is
based
on
not
only
the
maintenance
of
the
product,
but
the
operational
costs.
AF
AG
Thank
you
for
planning
and
development.
This
voluntary
annexation
petition
involves
a
0.479
acre
property,
consisting
of
one
parcel
of
land
occupied
by
a
detached
dwelling,
the
applicant's
requesting
annexation
in
order
to
receive
sanitary,
sewer
and
solid
waste
service
from
the
city.
The
element
is
aware
that
the
sewers
city
sewer
impact
assessment
fees
must
be
paid
at
full
prior
to
connection
and
of
additional
cost
to
extend
to
the
city's
sewer
service.
A
I
AG
Thank
you
so
this
future
landings
map
amendment
involves
a
0.74
acre
portion
of
a
2.26
acre
property
located
on
the
northeast
corner
of
gothic
bay,
boulevard
and
south
keystone
avenue.
The
applicant
is
requesting
to
amend
the
future
land
use
category
of
that
north
one
third
of
the
property
from
the
residential
office
general
to
commercial
general
future.
Ladies
category,
the
proposed
amendment
would
allow
the
property
to
have
one
consistent
future
land
use
map
category
of
commercial
general
across
the
entire
site,
and
it
would
increase
the
development
potential
by
about
4
900
square
feet.
AG
The
applicant
has
indicated
to
us
the
desire
to
construct
a
car
wash
on
that
property
in
addition
to
keeping
the
existing
office
building
there.
However,
no
site
plans
have
been
submitted
at
this
time
and
at
its
april,
19
2022
public
hearing.
The
community
development
board
made
a
unanimous
recommendation
of
approval
questions.
AG
AB
G
So
when
when
people
are
noticed
about
the
land,
use
change,
they're,
not
given
any
indication
what
somebody
might
put
on
there,
it's
just
it's
just
a
change
right,
and
so
if
the
car
wash
might
fall
through,
something
else
might
happen.
That's
when
a
specific
would
be
sent
to
residents
about
a
potential
business.
There.
AG
So,
for
this
case,
yes,
they
received
the
notice
for
the
future
land
use
and
zoning
changes
certain
concurrent
cases,
depending
on
the
use
and
the
level
of
review
with
the
use.
They
might
not
get
a
notice
if
it's
straight
to
building
permit
it's
just
a
staff
level
review
and
then,
if
it
goes
to
level
one,
they
would
in
level
two
they
would
have
to
go
to
the
community
development
board
as
well.
So
it
really
depends
on
that
use
when
they
come
through
for
cycling
approval.
G
A
AG
So
this
is
a
concurrent
zoning
atlas,
amendment
to
that
same
property.
We
just
discussed
it
will
be
amending
the
zoning
from
office
to
commercial
again.
It'll
allow
one
consistent
zoning
district
across
the
entire
property
and
again
it
was
heard
at
the
community
development
board
meeting
on
april
19th
and
the
board
made
a
unanimous
recommendation
of
approval.
AG
So
this
voluntary
annexation
petition
involves
a
0.18
acre,
83
acre
property,
consisting
of
one
parcel
plan
that
is
currently
vacant.
The
applicant
has
indicated
a
desire
to
construct
a
detached
dwelling
upon
annexation,
although
no
plans
have
been
submitted
at
this
time.
The
annexation
would
allow
the
property
to
receive
the
city's
water
sewer
and
solid
waste
upon
site
development,
and
the
applicant
is
aware
that
the
city's
sewer
and
water
impact
and
assessment
fees
would
need
to
be
paid
in
full
prior
to
connection
questions.
A
AC
Mayor
council,
eric
gandy
marine
in
aviation,
so
this
is
a
a
grant
amendment
for
the
upgrades
to
the
fiber
system
out
of
the
airpark.
So
we
we
had
an
agreement
with
fdot.
They
supplied
funding
for
canberra's
security
systems
as
part
of
the
master
plan,
and
this
is
a
request
from
council
to
accept
additional
funding
from
them
to
complete
the
fiber
installation
and
upgrade
the
fiber
at
the
facility.
AC
The
52
000
of
this
will
come
from
f
dot
and
13
000
would
come
from
a
city-wide
connectivity
project
through
I.t.
A
AC
AC
Know
the
terms
on
them,
but
they're
long
term,
like
the
master
plan,
is
a
20-year
project.
B
A
AB
AC
So
this
project
came
to
my
attention
about
two
weeks
into
my
tenure.
AC
The
design
and
the
construction
plan
came
to
my
attention
to
include
this
amount,
so
I
had
to
do
a
lot
of
quick
studying
to
learn
about
wave
attenuators
and
the
history
of
the
harbor
arena.
I
knew
knew
some
some
basic
information
about
it,
an
approximate
age
but
as
I
started
to
look
into
it,
I
came
to
the
understanding
that
there
have
been
a
number
of
studies
done
over
the
last
several
years
to
address
failures
in
some
of
the
systems
out
there
for
the
public's
consumption.
AC
The
wave
attenuators
are
essentially
a
floating
breakwater
that
that
goes
around
the
perimeter
of
that
marina
that
the
marina
was
conceptualized
in
2003.
There
were
feasibility
studies
done
and
conversations
about
it
through
that
period
of
time
it
wasn't
designed
until
2008
and
ultimately
built
in
2010.
I
AC
AC
It
was
required
to
be
done
as
an
emergency
repair,
because
the
damage
was
so
significant
and
they
ended
up
replacing
that
subsequent
to
that
replacement,
they
began
to
look
at
an
overall
study
of
the
facility
that
was
began
in
2020
and
ultimately,
some
recommendations
came
in
indicating
that
there
was
some
additional
potential
for
failures
throughout
the
facility
and
the
majority
of
it
was
focused
on
the
wave
attenuators
and
the
pile
guides,
and
some
of
the
study
indicated
that
there
were
some
potential
failures
related
to
the
design
of
the
pilings,
the
attenuator
pile
guides
and
the
installation,
because
some
of
the
pilings
hadn't
been
driven
to
the
depths
necessary
to
retain
these
things
so
fast
forward
to
2021,
and
we
began
a
more
in-depth
review
of
some
of
these
failures
and
they
identified
three
more
attenuators
were
a
progressive
state
of
failure.
AC
A
AC
AC
AC
The
challenge
with
this
particular
problem
is
that,
should
these
let
go
during
the
course
of
a
storm,
there
are
three
of
them:
50
feet,
long,
multiple
tons,
apiece
and
they
could
cause
significant
damage.
So
for
me
upon
taking
the
the
role
of
director,
I
recognize
this
as
an
emergency,
not
that
it
hadn't
been
pursued
as
such.
Previously,
some
of
the
documents
relate
to
that,
but,
ultimately,
for
me
it
was
a
here
and
now
problem.
So
we
tried
to
expedite
this
as
much
as
possible.
AC
AC
AC
The
the
challenge
for
us
certainly
going
forward
is
that
there
are
other
wave
attenuators
that
have
been
identified
as
potentially
problematic
going
forward.
The
exact
number
could
be
as
high
as
30,
but
we
don't
know
at
this
juncture.
What's
going
to
need
immediate
attention,
I've
been
in
communication
with
finance
and
and
we've
we've
got
some
plans
to
try
and
address
that
and
some
cip
money
going
forward,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
challenge.
AC
That
was
the
design
of
the
north
attenuator
that
was
put
in
in
2018
and
the
components
we
specified
stainless
steel
as
opposed
to
the
previous
design,
which
involved
galvanized
steel.
So
it's
our
belief
that
that
this
is
a
much
more
robust
system
and
that
the
engineer
is
the
same
engineering,
firm
erickson.
AC
That
did
the
assessment
of
the
previous
failures
and
we're
hopeful
that
you
know
that
assessment
and
their
oversight
allows
us
to
make
sure
that
these
piles
are
driven
to
the
proper
depths
and
they're
robust
enough
to
alleviate
any
future
problems
with
these
three
attenuators,
the
challenge
for
them.
Also,
they
had
to
integrate
new
design
with
with
the
older
designs,
so
some
scope
changes
resulted
in
the
cost
of
this
thing
and
unfortunately
it
was
it
was.
AC
You
know,
technology
at
the
time
was
was
challenging
yet
expensive
and
we
find
ourselves
in
a
position
to
have
to
replace
an
expensive
component.
Any
questions.
A
AC
I
can
communicate
that
with
legal
department
and
share
the
failure
assessments
and
perhaps
that's
an
evaluation
that
could
be
done.
I
know
you
know
historically
this
was
a
long
time
ago,
but
there's
a
potential
for
legal
look
at
that.
I
guess.
Z
P
N
AC
That
that
appeared
out
of
their
assessments
and
analysis
is
that
that
design,
because
the
power
guys
aren't
on
the
outside
on
a
single
side
that
it,
whether
the
wave
action
much
better,
there's,
also
references
to
wave
studies
and
what
they
used
to
calculate.
The
potential
exposure
that
that
may
have
been
off
to.
AE
Morning,
mayor
council,
rich
gardner,
director
public
utilities,
the
number
for
you
today
is
for
the
approval
of
purchase
orders
for
reverse
osmosis
membranes
used
in
the
treatment
of
raw
water
in
the
city's
water
treatment
plants,
the
membranes
filter
out
salt
and
other
contaminates
from
the
raw
water
as
part
of
the
process
to
produce
our
drinking
water.
There
were
six
respondents
to
our
request
for
bids
and
we're
recommending
award
to
hydronautics
and
torrey
membrane
usa
in
the
amount
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
AE
Rich
gardner
director
public
utilities.
The
item
before
you
today
is
a
contract
for
additional
smart
cover
systems,
installation
and
maintenance.
This
equipment
is
used
to
monitor
water
levels
in
sewers
and
helps
us
prevent
sanitary
silver
over
sewer
overflows,
as
well
as
customer
backups
installation.
This
equipment
is
part
of
a
recent
agreement
between
the
city
and
fdep.
AE
G
So
I
love
this
language
that
you
have
on
the
legislative
text
and
the
idea
that
we
spend
money
to
save
money
with
these
covers,
and
so
you've
got
here.
This
standardized
product
provides
better
integration
and
efficiency
with
a
city
system
than
other
similar
products
which
results
in
cost
savings.
So
my
question
is,
you
know,
can
we
report
out
those
costs,
cost
savings
and
really
be
you
know
front
facing
with
that
that
you
know
not
only
are
we
doing
good
for
the
environment
with
this,
but
we're
saving
money
as
well.
AE
F
O
AH
Good
morning,
perry,
constant
fleet
manager
on
september
5th
2019
council
authorized
a
purchase
order
with
jet
age
fuel
and
the
annual
annual
amount
of
2
million
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
purchase
of
unleaded
and
diesel
fuel.
For
one
year
and
two
one
year,
renewal
options
per
itb,
37-19
per
the
milestones
in
the
itb.
The
term
was
intended
to
be
for
one
year
and
three
one-year
renewal
options,
totaling
a
four-year
contract
general
services
is
requesting
authorization
to
extend
the
contract
for
this
additional
year.
AH
A
As
far
as
this
is
something
we
just
absorb,
but
if
rates
on
fuel
stay
this
high
for
all
of
our
fleets
and
everything
else,
first,
I
mean
solid
waste
is
natural
gas
most
of
them.
But
if
we
start
to
see
this
in
all
the
enterprise
funds,
they
have
increased
costs.
C
C
AH
AH
I
check
in
on
the
eia,
which
is
the
energy
information
administration,
and
they
are
very
concerned
about
the
energy
supply
and
certainty
going
forward
in
these
next
few
years.
G
AH
At
a
certain
level
and
going
forward
that'll
expand,
but
we're
not
there
yet.
A
Z
This
is
a
request
to
settle
a
case
of
a
city
of
clearwater
versus
a
huntstein.
This
is
different
than
a
lot
of
other
litigation
that
we
have.
This
is
offensive
litigation,
meaning
that
this
was
a
case
where
there
were
code
enforcement,
liens
placed
on
property
and
council
authorized
a
foreclosure
on
that
property
after
a
set
period
of
time.
Mr
fuino
would
like
to
answer
any
questions
or
speak
to
it.
That's
all.
AI
That's
pretty
much
it
all.
The
anything
that
we
would
add
is
that
the
I
review
the
application
for
lean
reduction
and
it
doesn't
meet
all
the
requirements
of
policy,
six
nine,
which
is
what
council
considers
when
we
do
something.
There's
any
questions.
I'm
happy
to
answer.
AI
Well
and
that's
built
into
the
settlement
agreement,
if
they
don't
or
then
they
will
have
six
months
to
keep
the
property
in
compliance
and
if
not
the
lane
will.
Z
10.2
is
a
defensive
settlement,
difficult
case,
not
a
huge
fan
of
it,
but
I've
reluctantly
endorsed
the
settlement.
Mr
fuino.
AI
Sure,
good
morning,
councilor
michael
fauino
assistant
city
attorney.
In
this
case
the
civil
action
was
filed
against
the
city.
The
plaintiff
was
collided
with
an
unmarked
police
vehicle
which
was
momentarily
driving
the
wrong
way
on
u.s
19,
while
attempt
to
effectuate
it
take
down
the
the
plaintiff
had
incurred
injuries
to
her
neck
and
her
back
and
surgeries
to
both
her
past
medicals
were
in
excess
of
350
000.
AI
The
offer
from
the
plaintiff
to
settle
the
case
is
120
000,
in
which
we
shall
dismiss
it
and
fully
release
the
city
and
giving
the
amount
of
past
medicals
the
potential
for
future
medicals
pain
and
suffering
award,
and
the
probability
that
a
jury
would
find
liability.
On
our
case,
I'm
recommending
that
we
accept
the
settlement.
F
A
Right
so
before
I
have
the
clerk
read
this
agenda
item.
As
I
said
in
the
paper,
this
is
a
very
sensitive
subject
and
one
that
deals
with
people's
lives
and
livelihoods.
I
don't
take
that
conversation
lightly.
A
I
apologize
to
the
employees
of
clearwater
gas
for
the
turmoil
that
this
conversation
will
bring.
We
also
have
to
have
this
conversation
in
the
public
as
sunshine
law
demands.
This
is
one
of
those
times.
I
don't
like
sunshine,
because
I'd
rather
talk
about
it
privately
and
find
out
where
everybody
is,
but
we
don't
have
that
choice,
and
so
this
conversation
is
going
to
cause
some
angst
some
confusion,
perhaps,
and
certainly
a
lot
of
different
opinions.
A
H
Mr
jennings
mayor
members
of
the
council
today
would
like
to
have
a
conversation
and,
at
the
end
of
the
conversation,
a
direction
from
you
as
to
next
steps.
Last
november
after
I
started,
I
began
to
have
conversations
with
most
of
you
and
council
member
teshe.
That
was
not
on
the
council
at
that
time.
H
In
conversations
that
we've
had
and
I
certainly
recommended
a
valuation
study
which
is
exactly
what
we
have
done
to
date.
There
was
a
valuation
study
done
that
listed
a
median
price
of
115
million
dollars,
and
so
today
mr
ravens
will
make
a
presentation
to
the
council.
H
B
B
There's
been
some
discussion
of
the
dividend
that
the
gas
company
pays
back
to
the
general
fund.
In
addition,
the
gas
utility
shares
overhead
citywide,
for
instance,
the
cost
of
the
finance
department,
the
cost
of
the
legal
department,
so
there's
other
costs
potential
costs
to
the
general
fund.
If
the
gas
utility
is
sold
as
that
overhead
should
decrease,
but
a
certain
portion
of
it
is
going
to
remain,
and
we
did
a
rough
calculation
of
what
that
would
look
like
to
basically
make
the
general
fund
whole.
B
Our
our
estimate
was
in
the
range
of
4.75
to
5
million
dollars
a
year
that
would
be
needed
to
make
the
general
fund
a
whole
if
their
the
gas
utility
was
not
available
to
help
subsidize
both
with
the
dividend
and
also
the
sharing
of
the
overhead
costs.
So
with
that
be
happy
to
answer
any
of
the
questions.
A
So
I
want
to
say
a
couple
things
before
I
open
it
up
to
questions
and
comments,
because
there's
some
things
I'd
like
to
discuss.
A
A
A
They
will
be
one
of
those
states
for
a
very
long
time,
but
I
do
come
from
a
business
of
trying
to
buy
low
and
sell
high,
so
I
do
think
we
at
least
have
to
discuss
this
as
painful
as
it
can
be
for
the
employees
whether
we
are
at
peak
value,
especially
if
we
are
not
going
to
run
the
enterprise
as
an
ongoing
business
and
being
aggressive.
A
My
other
concern,
though,
is
if
we
sell
this
the
influx
of
money
that
we
would
be
receiving.
First
of
all,
we
have
to
make
up
for
the
loss
through
the
dividend
that
mr
ravens
has
raised.
I
think
the
amount
of
support
that
the
gas
system
obviously
is
giving
to
the
general
fund
is
a
whole.
Other
discussion,
frankly,
seems
like
they've,
been
carrying
a
larger
burden
than
maybe
they
they
deserve.
A
But
my
concern
is:
if
we
got
a
lump
sum
of
money
that
we
would
find
all
sorts
of
ways
to
spend
it-
and
this
is
something
I've
been
talking
to
mr
margolis
about
and
even
miss
aiken
before
he
came
along.
Is
there
a
way
to
put
this
money?
Should
we
sell
it,
and
that
is
a
big?
If,
but
can
we
put
it
in
a
lock
box
and
can
it
be
invested
so
it
can
grow
like
an
annuity.
A
Mr
margolis
seems
to
think
that
we
cannot
invest
it
like
we
have
our
pension
plan
invested
and
allow
income
to
spin
off.
A
Penny
for
pinellas
is
a
great
program,
but
it
resulted
in
a
lot
of
new
buildings
being
built
and
we
have
the
capital
to
build
them,
but
then
you've
got
to
man
them,
you've
got
to
maintain
them
and
those
costs
continue
to
escalate
through
time.
And
so
that's
that's
my
greatest
concern
about
this
discussion.
So
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
frame
some
issues
that
I've
been
thinking
about.
N
N
I
know
when,
in
the
inception
it
was
to
get
out
and
expand
it
as
an
enterprise
fund
and
which
they,
I
think,
have
done
very
well
at
they've
gone
in.
I
mean
we're
not
just
in
clearwater
we're
not.
I
mean
we're
off
into
pasco
county,
where
all
the
growth
is,
which
is
good.
We
supply
belair,
we
supply
past
pasco
county
and
we're
putting
new
lines
in
if
we
sell
it.
N
Will
their
rates
be
competitive?
Like
you
know,
ours
tries
to
be
competitive
in
the
market.
Maybe
not
so
I
don't
have
a
problem,
putting
it
out
there
and
getting
information.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
information
to
see.
Even
if
I
mean
maybe
it's
maybe
you
know
right
now
we're
saying
it's
between.
You
know
it's
115
million,
that
kind
of
the
average
of
what
we
think
we
could
get
for
it.
It
could
be
a
lot
more
could
be
a
lot
less,
but
you
don't
know
for
sure.
Until
you
go
out
into
the
market.
N
P
This
is
gut
wrenching,
because
there's
so
many
things
to
consider
and
the
ripple
effect
is
wide.
You
know
the
employees
and
the
effects
on
the
citizens
of
clearwater,
and
so
when,
in
my
personal
experience,
whenever
I
have
to
make
a
difficult
decision
where
my
catholic
guilt
can
factor
in,
I
always
fall
back
to
get
as
much
information
as
possible
so
that
my
decision
is
based
on
facts
and
information.
O
Well,
this
is
a
tough
one,
you
know
if
we
sell
it
it,
you
know
the
price
is
going
to
go
down
every
year,
so
we'd
be
selling
it
at
a
peak
time.
O
I
don't
know
how
those
dividends
would
decrease
over
the
decades.
On
the
other
hand,
we
need
that
you
know
we
need
that
5
million
a
year.
I
think
I
really
do
believe
we
should
be
out
of
the
gas
business,
but.
Z
I
don't
know
that
we
would
create
one.
We
would
likely
use
our
power
to
acquire
it
usually
over
the
strong
objection
of
the
reigning,
which
in
this
case
would
be
duke
energy
and
fpl
cities
have
done
it.
I
came
from
a
city
that
owned
an
electric
utility,
but
it
is
a
very
expensive
and
lengthy
undertaking.
It
would
be
a
big
strategic
decision
for
council
to
make,
but
it
can
be
done
and
it
has
been
done.
A
Well,
I
think
there's
been
questions
about
expanding
the
network
of
the
gas
system
and
should
we
be
out
promoting
it
as
strongly
as
we
are
or
could
there
are
a
lot
of
developments
up
in
pasco
that
are
being
developed?
That's
where
there's
huge
growth.
Obviously
moffitt
is
going
to
build
a
new
campus.
That's
going
to
bring
a
lot
of
employment.
A
And
a
lot
more
people
and
a
lot
of
the
developments.
Mr
warrington,
while
you
come
up,
a
lot
of
the
developments
have
been
incorporating
natural
gas.
A
I
I
A
Now,
where
they
thought
that
they
were
going
to
wean
themselves
off
of
fossil
fuels
a
lot
faster
and
they
found
that
that
isn't
working
and,
in
fact,
they're
firing
up
coal
plants
right
now
in
germany
because
of
their
dependence
on
russian
oil.
So
I
am
fine.
I
think
technology
over
time
will
lead
people
to
make
decisions
about
whether
they
want
to
convert
over
to
solar
or
wind
or
anything
else.
AJ
Well,
I've
said
that
I
believe
that
we
have
the
capacity
to
grow
to
about
75,
000
customers
and
we're
just
we're
just
crossing
31
000.
Now
we
we
are
the
fastest
growing
by
percentage
gas
utility
in
america.
We
we've
been
growing
between
six
and
a
half
and
eight
percent
a
year.
So
I
think
we've
been
pretty
pretty
darn
aggressive.
Every
subdivision,
that's
been
built
in
pasco
and
most
in
pinellas
as
well
has
gone
gas.
AJ
We've
got
one
going
right
now
that
may
not
go
gas,
but
it's
because
they're
in
a
they're
in
a
with
lacutie
gas,
cooperative
or
electric
cooperative
area,
where
they
are
holding
them
hostage
for
eight
hundred
dollars
per
lot.
If
they,
if
they
don't,
go
all
electric,
they
have
to
pay
an
extra
eight
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
or
something
like
that
per
lot
and
they're
not
willing
to
put
out
the
the
the
extra
capital.
AJ
A
AJ
And
we've
we've
begun
discussions
with
with
the
hospital
the
new
hospital
up
there,
they're
they're
they're
just
now,
starting
to
make
their
plans
on
what
will
be
there,
and
that
will
be
not
only
a
moffitt
hospital
but
also
the
whole
community
that
supports
the
hospital
around
it
and
we've
started
talking
to
them
about
that.
G
I
think
you
know
I
I
appreciate
our
new
city
manager
coming
in
and
taking
a
a
real
holistic
look
at
how
our
city
operates
and
doing
our
due
diligence
in
multiple
departments.
G
I
just
think
that's
prudent,
operating
behavior.
We
are
stewards
of
our
citizens,
money
and
you
know
we're
tasked
with
making
good
financial
decisions,
and
so
I
think,
sending
it
up
out
to
a
broker
to
get
an
evaluation
and
see
if
it's
works.
Well,
if
the
numbers
line
up
and
it's
a
a
wise
decision,
as
you
said,
it
makes
sense
to
buy
low
and
sell
high
with
a
commodity,
and
so
I
I
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
go
out
there
and
check
it
intermittently.
G
I
think
you
know
maybe
every
10
years.
You
would
do
something
like
this
with
an
asset
and
to
see
where
are
we
at
and
how
are
we
doing
and
then
we
reevaluate
and
move
on?
It's
it's
not
something.
You
know
you
do
all
the
time,
but
you
know
we
did
have
a
presentation
from
saul
haroon
about
the
energy
sector.
G
G
But
you
know
that's
that's
a
potential
discussion.
Maybe,
but
I
think
the
question
being
asked
today
is
simply:
do
we
want
to
do
our
due
diligence
and
get
a
valuation
of
a
an
asset
that
we
have
that
we
haven't
looked
at?
I
don't
know
ever
and
see
if,
if
it's
a
good
time
to
do
something
different
with
it.
AJ
AJ
Well,
the
the
the
biggest
thanks
as
I
understand
it-
and
I
wasn't
here
at
that
time-
they
hired
me
shortly
after
that
to
aggressively
run
the
gas
utility,
but
the
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
around
the
fact
that
there
were
43
gas
employees
at
the
time
that
would
be
looking
at
losing
you
know,
moving
or
losing
their
jobs.
AJ
There
was
also
20
to
25
other
employees
in
the
city
that
were
supported
by
the
funds
of
the
gas
system,
and
that
became
that
that
was,
I
understand,
was
an
issue
of
wow.
This
is
more
than
just
the
gas
utility.
This
is
other
people.
You
know
customer
service
meter,
eating
fleet
places
like
that
that
support
our
operations.
A
A
H
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
remind
the
council
on
the
public
that
this
thursday
at
8
a.m.
There
will
be
a
special
meeting
of
the
city
council,
it'll,
be
a
strategic
budget
meeting,
and
so
that
is
this
thursday.
Tonight
we
have
a
council
public
meeting
to
discuss
arpa
funds
as
well
as
as
the
strategic
plan.
That's
at
six
begins
at
six
pm
until
7
30.
A
F
H
No,
so
these
are
two
different
things.
The
strategic
budget
meeting
on
thursday
is
required
for
us
to
come
and
present
to
the
council,
the
kind
of
basically
a
check-in,
so
we
will
have,
we
will
have
materials.
H
We
also
have
materials
for
this
evening
and
the
other
we
have
an
arpa
one
pager
and
some
other
things
that
we'll
be
passing
out
tonight.
A
Okay,
any
future
items
for
discussion.
G
Surprise,
surprise
shocking,
I
know,
is
it
it's
okay,
this
thing
is
not
you
know
behaving.
I
saw
yours
wasn't!
Okay!
Here
we
go.
I
hope
that
we
could
have
a.
G
A
discussion
about
giving
direction
okay.
Here
we
go
about
our
about
the
design
of
the
new
city
hall
and,
and
I
and
and
really
the
design
of
any
new
city
buildings,
any
structures.
G
I
would
like
this
council
to
send
a
unified
message.
I
hope-
or
we
can
have
this
conversation
about.
We
want
that
design
to
minimize
operating
costs
and
to
maximize
clean
energy
and
to
be
as
close
to
net
zero
buildings
as
possible.
We
can
just
put
that
out
there
that
whenever
we
send
out
rfps
or
people
do
any
discussions
that
that
is
what
the
city
of
clearwater
aims
to
do
with
any
building.
G
So
I'd
like
to
have
that
as
a
discussion
topic,
you
know
we
have
largo
and
dunedin
are
both
working
on
new
city
halls
and
incorporating
sustainable
features
and
all
that
stuff,
and
I
think,
there's
a
there
are
learnings.
We
can
actually
absolutely
take
away
from
dunedin
who's
had
some
stumbling
blocks
in
largo
who
hasn't
broken
ground
yet
so
I'd
like
that
for
a
future
time.
G
It's
a
large
park
area
slopes
down
to
the
water,
and
you
know
really
what
are
we
committed
to
as
far
as
herbicides,
pesticides,
chemicals
on
our
public
property?
So
I'd
like
to
have
that
discussion
and-
and
simply
I
think,
it's
that
you
know
do
we
agree
to
operate
in
accordance
with
green
print
and
at
the
highest
levels
possibility
of
sustainability?
G
And
I
I
just
if,
if
we
can
get
buy-in
up
here
and
a
unified
message,
then
I
don't
have
to
keep
asking
about
it
on
agenda
items.
So
if
we
could
do
that
kind
of
a
discussion,
that'd
be
great
and
then
finally,
if
we
can
have
a
discussion,
hopefully
in
the
near
future,
on
our
thoughts
and
approaches
to
dealing
with
the
homeless
in
downtown
clearwater,
I
know
there's
been
a
flurry
of
activity.
G
What
our
thoughts
are
on
that,
as
we
are,
you
know,
revitalizing,
downtown
and
we've
got
our
park,
and
how
are
we
going
to
handle
our?
You
know
the
homeless
that
we
have
tell.
A
Well,
I
think
we
had
a
really
good
discussion
on
monday,
so
council,
member
shadow
and
bunker
were
there
as
well
as
myself
and
the
city
manager.
I
think
there
was
buy-in
from
all
of
the
organizations
that
the
way
we're
doing
it
is
not
the
way
to
go
for
it
in
the
future
that
they're
working
against
the
ultimate
goal
and
that
there
has
to
be
some
wrap
around
services.
A
So
I
also
think
in
that
discussion
we
need
to
talk
about
the
other
stakeholders
that
are
affected
by
homelessness.
I
walked
up
this
morning
to
the
library
it
is
a
pig
pen
out
there.
It
is
it's
embarrassing
and
you
know
I
don't
want
to
point
a
finger
at
a
single
group,
because
I
know
there's
just
citizens
that
think
the
world
is
their
trash
can,
but
a
lot
of
it
does
come
from
the
homeless
and
there's
a
lot
of
other
effects
from
them.
A
So
I
think
we
need
to
be
compassionate,
but
at
the
same
time
we
need
to
think
about
the
effects
to
all
of
our
other
citizens
and
businesses
and
everything
else,
and
if
we
just
keep
throwing
money
at
it,
does
it
really
solve
the
problem
and
after
sitting
on
hep's
board
for
five
years?
I
know
that
is
not
the
case,
so
I'll
be
happy
to
have
that
conversation
and
the
others
anything.
